Artist Statement
My thickly layered abstractions are mirrors of the history, buildup, and decay found predominantly in urban environments. I investigate the relationship between color, texture, and form as they change over time: telephone poles with decades of postings and detritus accumulation, sides of brick buildings with cracked paint revealing moments of history along with color trends, transit paths, the ebb and flow of life and human touch. My work re-creates and mimics this history and texture through the process of layering, rubbing, and stripping paint. These techniques function as a gesture towards the forgotten beauty of the world around us.
