Statement

As far as I can remember, my tendency is to transform raw materials into revised visual objects. The current usage of materials is conveying transformation. Utilizing my skills in woodworking and painting, the simple act of restructuring materials with the application of various media becomes the metamorphosis. The repetition of my actions creates a rhythm much like that of a factory and my time as a pastry chef; I’ve realized recently, this repetition is a sort of catharsis.

My Influences are the factory and products of the industrial revolution; the constant repetition of actions represented in the factory/kitchen and all that we derive from nature and it’s repetitive processes.

I currently work with MDF Board and plywood to create unlikely shaped, multidimensional canvases and wall installations that are finished with various industrial paints, including car paint. My traditional cloth canvas paintings are repetitious renderings of contrasting color, creating a methodic woven pattern, representing my internal meditation and recognition for positive change.
