Artist’s statement
As a self-described “painter,” I consistently seek out new ways to
experiment within the narrow avenues of paint on canvas. Certain
marks, signs, scribbles, gestures are repeated by means of projection,
stencils, and transfers. A vocabulary of visual chatter celebrates the
distortions, interruptions, and interference within the painted/
printed surface. One of the subjects of these works is the compost of
creation: the studio and the sketchbook as sites of raw visual fermentation.
