Artist Statement
I approach my work as a reflection of how moments and places imprint on a person. By collecting images of places I’ve visited, natural found objects, and images of brain scans and ink blots, I’ve discovered how these moments and organic shapes seamlessly integrate into my abstract landscapes. Memories often appear foggy, unclear, and distorted, and my aim is to capture that complexity by building up a richly layered surface with subtleties that allow new discoveries every time you stand in front of a piece to ponder. This approach reflects the intricacy of our experiences and how we connect to our surroundings.
Each piece I create obscures song lyrics, poem verses, or snippets of conversation I’ve overheard. These words form the essence of each work, some remaining visible while others are hidden within the skies and land. Our recollections of people and places are always different from their reality—a fact that can be uncomfortable even when the memories are pleasant, as they remind us of how quickly time passes by.
My art aims to capture that transient nature of memory, encapsulating the fleeting and often elusive nature of our experiences.
