Artist Statement
My current work explores the relationship between objects and places that are commonly overlooked or very commonplace. By using these items and pairing them together, I hope to generate a commentary that transcends the normalcy of the objects. My work also deals with the relationships between drawing and painting, real and abstract, natural and artificial, and translating the three dimensional onto a two dimensional surface. The tension created by these relationships aids in the process and final product of every piece.
