I draw on abstract painted fields. My work fluctuates between disfiguration and figuration, and familiar objects oscillate between layered fields. The picture plane is amassed to create spatial amplification and zones of erasure.

The species work utilizes concepts derived from observations that demonstrate biological systems. Projects are grown into architectonic composites that generate hyper-articulated forms and spatial fields.

 

The species' work is grown through varied aggregation at multiple scales. The objective is the production of new organisms and organizational methods that represent morphogenetic evolutionary traits.

The photography captures spontaneous moments, performances, and atmospheric conditions. Portraits are unposed and reflect the space and time they occupy.
