statement
My motivation for painting is my interest in human perception and sensation.
Acrylic paint is the primary painting medium in my work.
I paint using a combination of multiple techniques, including hand-drawing, silk-screening, and stenciling. A snarky and inconsistent pictorial space is created.
By looking at the painted space as an illusion or distortion, we confirm our own perception.
It also expands our imagination of multidimensional landscapes and sensations that we cannot perceive in the real world.
I believe that imagination leads to an ever-changing perspective and relationship with the world around us.
