Color is a constant memory trigger for me. My use of luminous color becomes my means to ascertain form through memory balancing and reconciling the contradiction of making work that is both peaceful and energetic. By controlling the medium with an image in mind and simultaneously submitting to the mercurial nature of reconciling spontaneous actions, the discipline of my formal process demonstrates energy at sober and variable speed.
My works on paper are executed in various water-media in a painterly style resulting in the appearance of cavitation with uncertain scale. My painted forms resemble the use of various printed techniques and can look mechanically produced. The unlikely companionship of my methods and materials results is a surprising collision. The paintings look mechanical, but they’re not.
