I used fragments of historic and contemporary artworks as the starting point for this body of work. The mélange of images layered onto the surfaces, at the same time familiar and foreign, are meant to disorient and lead the viewer through an endless examination of organic shapes, colors and textures, My process is intuitive and focuses on the visual tension between negative/positive space, figuration/abstraction, and how 2D forms occupy, define and create space.

Over time these pieces have developed from simple layered fragments of paper to large-scale assemblages and free-standing sculptures. After this period of covid-induced lockdown, the work has taken a turn toward even brighter colors and patterns because I needed to feel that lightness and hope after so much self-imposed isolation.
