Artist Statement

​

My art practice is intrinsically experimental, and its resulting imagery is subject to fluctuations due to chance and unpredictability. I cathartically pour and pull ink across my surfaces. The reticulation and striations from this back-and-forth motion, "drawing," replicate nascent experiences and materialize as protean forms. As this action occurs over a given duration, I employ change and transformation as a construct to later classify and categorize the works. My recent bodies of work aim to address broader environmental concerns by incorporating archaeological references that intersect with marine life, such as intertidal zones and our human ecotone.
