I'm engaged with building and alchemy. Alternating between chance and control, I explore uncertainty and transformation.
Exploring materials and methods with a very hands-on and lo-fi approach,alternating from micro to macro, there is fluctuating from particle to whole and back again.
I employ materials and tools using their innate characteristics, and also in ways which detour and extend from their original purpose.
I draw with fire, knives, thread and hot glue. My ever-shifting installations are often rooted in the exploration of physicality and immateriality. They consist of fragments made in the studio, created site-specific for exhibition
The abstractions are influenced from sources as diverse as molecular structure, cells, scratches, spheres, text, skin, the body, landscape, sound, archaeology, hieroglyphics, webs, fossils, impressions, eastern thought, architecture, and cave paintings.
The repetitive ritualistic work is a partial response to information overload, multi-fragments, visual stimuli, and distractions - where I desire to hold the infinite complexity. With things changing every second, I remember our interconnectivity and am prompted to respond with an array of gestures, intimate and large, controlled and elastic, reflecting on our vastness.
Through my meditation and deliberation on chance, control and uncertainty, my work is also further stretched by paradox: empty/full, conceal/reveal, shadow/light, pain/beauty, fracture/whole, static/movement.
