These paintings portray an experience of unpredictable everyday life. Uncontained bodies of water represent a personal struggle with ambiguity, uncertainty and fleeting time, always fighting the impermanence of existence. My work pushes the boundaries of the traditional landscape, immersing the viewer beneath the surface. You are not a witness to the disruption, yet a part of it.
As an artist, I am interested in all the ways I can manipulate and control the medium I am working with. Variation and repetition in mark communicate a vocabulary of emotions. Sweeping strokes create horizontal movement which cluster near the bottom of the canvas. Saturated pigment drips in the opposite direction, both displaying the physicality of the paint and playing havoc with the composition.
