My work navigates the topography of emotional experience: a personal narrative suspended in momentary nostalgias. Utilizing the aesthetics of process, small monuments are manifested through improvisation and experimentation. Abstracted and awash, soft color palettes are punctuated with childlike markings. It is a circuitous loop, a weird walk, and a nonsensical gesturing through the practice of ritual, creating space and momentum as means and mechanisms to cope with what is, what was, and the possibility of what is yet to be. I am interested in the notion and extrapolation of “byproduct”. Instead of linear or rigid processes of creating, I engage in experiential play: a sort of call and response that happens between me and the material. I believe in holding onto the precarious, building tension in circumstance, remaining open and flexible to all outcomes, and golden failures.
