Statement
I appreciate the tender and the terrifying and I seek to merge these elements in my work.
The images come about in the process of making marks and the effort to divest myself of what I know. Both occur if and when I let go of my own idea and the limits of my vision, and follow the work where it needs to go.
I like the fluidity of house paints and big brushes, especially when combined with the tentative and fragile nature of cardboard.
