My work explores the intersection of shape, pattern, and color through painting and
drawing based on observation. I create low relief assemblages in the studio, which
include found material and personal ephemera, alongside fabric, wallpaper samples,
and synthetic objects. Off cuts, negative shapes, or remainders from collages become as significant as the positive elements that generated them. It is the search for this state of equilibrium between space and object, or the negotiation between collecting and organizing information that my paintings represent.
