welcome
My work is shaped by my experience in the natural realm - years spent exploring wild places and abandoned urban landscapes - and by minor scientific study. Principles of geology, botany, astronomy and physics inform both my content and process.
My process takes cues from the natural order. Multi-layered surfaces are built through dripping, pooling, brushing, marking, and sanding. Driven by exploration, chance and gravity, I find equilibrium between chaos and control.
With veils of color, complex surfaces, mysterious light sources, and blurred edges, the work investigates change and the act of becoming. Phenomena from swamps to galaxies are in constant flux. Even the profile of a beach or the course of a river changes monthly, seasonally. As I witness the ubiquity of transformation, I am struck by its inevitability, and my work shifts - gradually.
