Statement
Painting is a way of searching for and negotiating the fleeting boundaries between all things. The mapping of form and shape is an attempt to picture the world as I see it with paint, continually reframing the exchange between positive and negative space.
There's space in the lines that we draw, and their truth is approximate. Making pictures is a direct way of engaging with the conversational nature of reality.
