Artist's Statement
My recent work has explored the idea that “Complicating things is easy, simplifying them is difficult” (Bruno Munari). My paintings are battlegrounds for communication between composition, color, and time. I believe strongly in the relationship between truth and beauty, and in losing control of my work in order to reveal the visual truths I am aware of but not quite able to clearly articulate. The work starts as a competition between spontaneous gestures and deliberately applied patterns; the antagonism of this struggle for space is the foundation of my paintings and drawings. Chaos and desperation give way to an arbitrary idea of beauty (as if such a thing exists), and then the work is finished.
