My work exists within a particular mindset: the possibility of remembering our
origins. It begins in the day, using the automatic drawing technique to channel
memories and visions with quick sketches and annotations on Post-It notes.
I later use these notes as data to be transferred to my large canvases. Once
in the studio, the painting process begins, and the collaboration of drawing
and painting becomes one of activation of the mediums’ expressive potential.
This is a project built on the premise that impulses when contained can bring
forth greater precision. My challenge is to present a systematic organization
of the space within the square and the rectangle.
