Artist Statement
I am obsessed with mass production, technology, and industry.
Oil is derived from dinosaurs, windows from sand, and the
geometric steel infrastructure of buildings from ore.
My work investigates the reconciliation of these things that
overwhelm and excite me. The rounded geometric forms I create
seek to convey the moment in time where nature and industry
intersect.
Living in nature, as well as in an urban environment, has
compelled me to create work that appears plastic, tactile,
and machine-made with hints of my surroundings. The visual
conversation between the paint and geometric forms culminates
in my softly linear objects.
