RCAD 2012 // Fine Art

Artist Statement: " My work begins with a love for a painting’s ability to manipulate and disrupt time and space. I create interiors through a variety of different processes and applications of paint. These work to suspend one’s disbelief and create an inhabitable space for the viewer to enter while, simultaneously, subverting that space by reinforcing the presence of the picture plane and the very processes by which it was created. I have fleeting associations with signs, images or narratives, yet I find myself absorbed more so in the flows and intensities that describe their relationships -- crescendo, discord, entropy, rupture, hyperbole, extropy, whelm, indifference, fear. I want representation to stumble and stutter the way it is presented to me: incongruously yet with the most convincing of properties."
