about, throughout, all over

 

My studio practice is indebted to everyday phenomena. There is an emphasis on looking, analyses, and emotion within my work. I gravitate towards cataloging architectural forms and aspects of the interior landscape. The ceilings and floors of interiors, as well as recurring forms such as blinds and vents are primary subjects because of their neutrality. These sources have the ability to remain familiar once abstracted through digital and analog processes, layering, and mark making, with material dictating the outcome. Translucent surfaces, neutral tones, and subtle shifts in color lend themselves to emulating phenomenological light and begin to soften these presented subjects. It is important to me that I preserve what is recognizable for myself and others to find accidental clarify within the abstraction. The work itself aims to convey a likeness of space and form, presenting that which is familiar in effort to redirect attention both inward and to the subtleties of the everyday.
