Artist Statement
I am interested in the relationship between language and perception, how language can both limit and expand our perception of everything. I create images that exist somewhere between the physical world and the world of ideas. These images are visual equivalents of poetic metaphors.
I begin with a poetic title and try to explain it visually. By recreating it visually, I hope to concretize the idea.
I want to create paintings that live on the outer edges of understanding, and open to endless interpretation.
