Artist Statement
My work is composed of oil paint mixtures, graphite and pastel which interlock on the clay surface of the paintings' panels. The face of each painting is a delicate skin that is partially stripped away to expose references to diagrammatic notations, molecular bundles, Venetian walls; a collection of time worn graffiti. This grouping of translucent applications of marks, drips, pourings and sandings suggest the sensation of the moment right before action. The simultaneity of appearance and dissolve is an ode to the fusion of time and memory.
