ARTiST STATEMENT
There is cohesion in the collision of abstracted hue…
Focusing on the intimacy of human relationship, emotion, and
self-preservation, I create and communicate by joining the hands of color in various mediums. Through deconstructed
and re-assembled cut materials, paint, and sometimes just ink,
I investigate restoration with precision. The chemistry of colors combined are held together, even in fracture,
everything remains whole.
