Artist’s Statement

“I rely on drawing as a means of exploration and regeneration. It sustains my practice by playing multiple roles in my work; as a notion of ideas, as a working drawing and developing a sequence of thoughts. Through an inexhaustible and repetitious process, I deconstruct and obscure the subject to allow the rhythm of line and mark making to activate and penetrate space. These experiential references create compositional and pictorial devices that inform my painting.
The dissolution and re-invention of forms resolves the contest between meaning and structure through their oscillation, fusion and sometimes juxtaposition.”
