About the Work

An exploration of transformative states is a unifying theme throughout my practice. Drawing, both as process and as outcome, is central to all my projects.

I work extensively with the repetition of the line, which is often expressed as a negative or a void in the surface, arrived at through materials processes such as erasing, burning, or unweaving. Combined with delicate supports such as tracing paper or fabric, this negation of the line speaks to fragility and impermanence, as well as to transcendence.

My daily surroundings are a regular source of inspiration. Aspects of my visual repertoire such as patterns, layers, and transparencies reference observations of both architecture and the natural world, and the many points where these two realms intersect. Questions of time are also called to mind: both time as is defined through repetitive actions that I undertake in the studio and that are embedded in an artistic outcome, as well as a transitional time that passes mostly unobserved, over the course of a day, a season, a century.
