Artist Statement
To me, unusual points of contact are the granular make-up of
change, progress, humor, and diversity. Unoriginally, I think that
this ability to create tactile metaphors represents the special
purpose of drawing and painting. I’m currently sorting that out
through the human, a kind of black-and-pink meditation on simple
contact, the body, and queer sexuality. In any case, I find this way
of making pictures to be the most useful and developmental way
for me to record and communicate unifying thoughts.
