Artist Statement:

"Drawing from the tangible human experience of repetition and routine, I use light, form, and patterning to create imagined, abstracted landscapes grounded in both the terrestrial and celestial while evoking the mystical and otherworldly.

Each work exploits a tension between photography and drawing. The underlying photographs are highly contrasted and brightly colored images of sunlight as it fleets by. The drawn elements are slow and reductive, each mark delicately scraped away from the surface of the photographic print with an x-acto blade revealing the white paper underneath. Concrete forms, extracted from daily life, are abstracted then methodically etched out of the photographs, in a curious investigation of what lies between the instantaneous and durational aspects of time, space and matter."
