Through painting, sculpture, and drawing I construct complex
structures whose aesthetic is informed by the process I use. My
paintings build the illusion of dimensionality while eradicating
optical vibrations through grid patterns and symbols distributed
across the picture plane. The iconography that I appropriate in my
work often comes from popular culture iconography that is rooted
in aggressive advertising and tattoo graphics. Recently, I have
also been interested in Mesoamerican architecture and visual
communication systems that exist within gang and hobo culture.
