My recent paintings are concerned with geometric abstraction, decoration, repetition, and their intersection with representations of nature and natural forms. They contain collisions of color, pattern, and form that move over and against themselves. These cut-canvas, layered paintings are textured with inlaid symbols, with multiple layers of surface coming together to simultaneously form and disrupt the image. The work explores utopian ideals of beauty and structure converging with the chaos of chance and process.
