I combine fast layers of expressive brush strokes with carefully thought out graphic and patternistic lines and geometric forms that overlap, interact and play with organic abstractions. This brings together the past and the present—connecting past ideas of abstraction with more contemporary concepts of textile and graphic design. My process involves many layers where I paint, tape, and then paint some more. Although the process is busy, I’m ultimately seeking balance between considered and quick movements. I think a lot about collaged elements, from past to present ideas in both art history as well as in my own head. My recent paintings study this concept, considering the arrangement of a piece and how it can be altered by adding additions on top of what has already been done.
I create paintings where dichotomous elements mingle with one another, and I love figuring out how to resolve the painting, like solving a puzzle, through color, line and space. I never know how long a painting will take to resolve – each piece goes through a journey, giving it a special story.
