ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My practice is grounded in a phenomenological approach, which emphasizes an embodied experience through the process of painting. By incorporating the concept of the expanded field of painting into my practice, I create site-adjusted installations that utilize light, temperature, and traditional painting techniques to create immersive experiences. The geometrical compositions of my paintings draw upon iconic optical strategies, such as chromatic vibrations, hard-edged forms, and geometrical composition, positioning my work in dialogue with, but not defined by, the tenets of Modernist abstract. These echoes aim to open possibilities for exploring and interrogating the potentialities of abstraction today.
