Artist's Statement
This is a new body of work for me.
I have, for a number of years, been interested how painting can address deeply personal notions through abstraction as well as representational imagery.
Aluminum foil has been a recurring subject in my work for more than ten years. I am interested in the paradoxical quality of aluminum foil – it is common and cheap with the allure of preciousness and beauty – and I am fascinated by the fact that people, like foil, are an ever-changing reflection of their environments.
