Artist statement
I am exploring the formless and surreal through the themes of wrapping and unveiling, absence and presence, hiding and revealing. Utilizing the nexus between painting and sculpture, I seek to create a unique dialogue with the viewer, by juxtaposing unusual materials with diverse surfaces like foam, plexiglass and aluminum. With each piece, I embark upon a journey of discovery. I begin with a vision, then change it when confronted with the constraints of the process. Navigating this tension is similar to finding solutions to the challenges we face in life. For me, this is the reward of making art.
