Statement

I am a visual artist working within drawing, painting, printmaking and collage. I often utilize scale, perspective and composition to explore deeper looking in my surroundings at home or in transit. Each creation of a work is a slow, unfolding process incorporating the traces of time and evidence of a larger collective experience of a place - scratches, footprints, tracks. I’m interested in how these environments can hold layers of mystery and collective familiarity simultaneously.
