Artist Statement

I am interested in the tension between the definite and the amorphous; that place where a hard edge or line meets the saoft and yielding.

In both art and life I think this border between land and sky, sleep and waking, curiosity and certainty, is where we see the most clearly.

Working with molten wax and pigment I build up layers and textures then scrape the cooled paint back to reveal the hidden history of process and form.
