Creative Process
Artist Statement + Process
I create work about the risk and beauty of defying limits and pushing beyond what we are capable of. My use of salvaged materials speaks to the process of transformation and restoration, while my art transcends framework. By reaching beyond what is meant to contain it, the work becomes a bold act of sovereignty. I may work on canvas with paints, inks and salvaged frames, or on paper utilizing scraps of fabrics, monoprints, and homemade papers. Regardless of the vehicle, my process is built on organic and intuitive movement, created by brushwork or the marks of my own fingers in thick layers. I build on this to achieve a sense of momentum, that eventually breaks free from boundaries. With paint, this may look like dynamic brushwork endlessly overlapping and curling in on itself until it reaches up from the canvas onto the frame. While paper and fabric works are assembled and reassembled countless times like a puzzle, partially spilling out onto a matted margin.
