Artist statement
I am interested in the perceptual instability within spatial representation, particularly within the discipline of painting. I am interested in how space is articulated pictorially and how the physical space it inhabits can enter into this discourse.
Many of my works are site-responsive and are created to react and call attention to the environmental conditions and the architecture they are placed within.
