I create multiple series at once, making marked and painted objects that I gather in loose groups with overlapping families. I use hard and soft surfaces to create visual and verbal gymnasiums, dialogs of marks, textures, and often times 3D forms.

Each work of art has a job to do.

I’m not so interested in categories like “abstraction,” other than to question why and where their boundaries might be perceived, and how the meanings of these words or art market terms change over time. I notice and play with how they can be combined—smashed together. I feel my work and my practise to be wrapped up in a rapidly changing expression of all humanity as it races toward extinction.

You can see that some of my works are text based, some composed of info-graphics, others are many layers of sprayed, splattered, and scraped liquids. I can’t help but experiment with the space around the paintings too. I’m driven to challenge how a painting will behave in real space, or participate as an object in the real world. I do this by combining traditional painting formats with accessories from domestic culture and other sculpted or bound objects and textiles. Printmaking, drawing, and conducting workshops also play important roles in my creative practice.

You can see where attitudes and lines of inquiry overlap, but also make little branches with differing ancestry.

 I’m for diverse conversations.
