STATEMENT
My work is focused in exploring and constructing relationships between shifting elements to depict expressive topographic moments of change. Imagery from landscape and natural
forms are distorted and geometrically simplified to navigate a built perspective of time, memory and the sublime. The resulting objects translate into a mental architecture, interacting with
the environment's light to reveal shifting colors, highlights and shadows based on the exchange with the viewer. In this abstraction, I look to make sense of the accumulating transitional
phases that form the enduring and alternating parts of myself and my surroundings.
My studio practice is motivated by solving complex fabrication problems by utilizing traditional, high tech and custom tools to produce visually clean pieces. The nature of my work
requires that I stick to an original plan in order to achieve a completed idea. Because of this I often experiment in how to fabricate my work, leading to processes that are always evolving
while also inspiring creativity.
