STATEMENT

I investigate the visual effects of motion on form due to my overt fascination with movement. Utilizing divergent scale shifts from up close to vast distance, I attempt to capture the essence of a certain movement in a stop motion act of drawing. Words such as Hover or Budge enact a drama of passage in my hands. The drawings become events in themselves with links to spatial phenomena where identity is amorphous. Deliberately working within a restrained palette, I aim for an intimation of phosphorescence from my pigments and a dialogue between the indeterminate and the exactitude of my forms.
