Immediacy and lived experience are at the center of my work.
I use painting as a way of feeling myself into bodies and psychic space. I see my paintings as ‘external thinking apparatuses’; they are hand-stitched together from many scraps of canvases and the painted on; ground and painting flipping back and forth in relevance.
This way, I extend my lived experience directly into and onto the canvas. I compile fragments of canvas showing time, repetition, absurdity and embodiment as themes. Sometimes I inhabit the painting by depicting a recurring large female figure who acts as my surrogate or my prostethic.
The obvious psychoanalytic and philosophical and historical readings aren’t that interesting to me. But rather how to produce the lived truth of my perception.
Overall my work is very simple.
