Developed in the moments between waking and sleeping, my work draws on an interest in the polysemantic nature of form and language to create paintings, drawings and sculptural pieces. An architect by day, my art practice has grown out of a need to manage bouts of insomnia through a meditative drawing practice.

 

My body of work merges my interests in design, drawing. Inspired by a wide variety of places, objects and forms, the work is developed in layers, I pursue compelling qualities that surface.

 

The pieces are often considered in series; sharing rules of geometry, proportion and scale. Through this intuitive process, the pieces conflate formal, spatial, and figural qualities and tap into our collective memory of surrounding physical and typographical structures. In creating amalgams of my own experience, I construct images that feel simultaneously familiar yet foreign, simple yet complex, and arrive at a clarity of form that is open to many forms of understanding.

 

I also see the work as an exploration of languages. Each serving to engage the viewer in thought and reflection while shedding light on the iterative process of making; a process through which we value art not just as something to be understood, but as catalyst for re-invention.
