In my practice, I explore my own perception to bring the unconscious into the conscious through a visual diary. While painting I do not plan out an outcome. I respond to each layer of paint uniquely. This is a way of recording the recursive nature of my own experience. Whether the moment is full of play, grief or confusion doesn’t really matter because the whole of it – once complete – can still find balance. It’s my job to feel my reaction to each layer from a place of immediate honesty. These paintings are created to shift with light to honor shifting perspectives. This process does not include planning. Instead, each day I respond intuitively to the images in front of me with a new perspective. Eventually, this weaves an image that encapsulates the many moments making up the season during which each piece was created. As part of the process, artwork titles emerge out of the overlaps in what exists within my own personal landscape and in the collective digital space during the time of the creation of the work.
