Statement

We are wired to tell stories. To make sense out of nonsense. I’m interested in engaging not only with my own narratives, but also with the narratives that viewers create in response to my work. I love to open up space for ambiguity on the pictorial plane while also providing hints and provocations. I approach my canvases with curiosity. Making marks on a two dimensional surface creates a tension between flatness and the depth that the marks imply. That tension creates a fissure, a little crack in the universe. I feel it’s my job as a painter to crawl into that space and stumble around, to find a light switch and turn it on. Through forging images of what emerges, I hope to both invoke and trouble the fundamental narrative impulse that makes us human. The stories that you, the viewer, conjure to make sense of this imagery become an integral part of the work itself. I strive to make space for what I see and what you see. To foster the growth of a larger truth that can hold it all.
