Artist Statement

I love experimenting with paint, smearing, pouring, spraying—I am always looking for new ways to transform this magical material. I am also interested in making pictures that reimagine ancient myths, where the protagonist might escape into freer, more imaginative realms. In terms of a painting’s composition and layering, I am thinking about how on the internet information accumulates into an architecture of ruin. This kind of metaverse inspires the structure and illogic of the paintings. Glitches and gaps create ambiguity and abstraction, leading to floating and unstable ecosystems.
