Working in a variety of media (gouache, acrylic, latex, silkscreen), I
echo in my work some of the complexity and uncertainty I perceive
in the world. Simple objects and everyday occurrences are
thrust into absurd and sometimes contradictory circumstances.
More information than can be processed with a simple glance is
presented all at once, as a landscape viewed from a shifting and
uncertain perspective. I aim to create paintings that are difficult
to describe, like a dream or memory that has become hazy and
difficult to recall through time but still seems certain and familiar.
A lingering impression of clarity and specific purpose that readily
becomes mired in its own details.
