Artwork location: United States
This artwork captures the viewer with its textured, abstract composition and vibrant color palette. The piece features layered elements of fragmented imagery, with splashes of pink and orange juxtaposed against moody grays and blacks. The surface appears rugged and textured, suggesting a sense of depth and complexity. Organic patterns intertwine with geometric forms, creating a dynamic interplay between chaos and order. Subtle undertones of text and numbers peek through, hinting at hidden narratives or coded messages. The distressed finishes, along with fluid transitions of color, evoke a feeling of worn antiquity blended with modern expression. This piece stands out for its bold use of mixed media, seamlessly fusing organic and industrial elements into a cohesive yet enigmatic statement, inviting an introspective exploration of its layers and meanings.

Artist Statement:
My work engages and explores feelings, both emotional and physical. I came of age during the reign of minimalism, which to me seemed alien, excluding as it did passion and spontaneity. My initial foray into art-making was in ceramics. I loved how it employed thought, mood, impulse, and action to give shape to form. Process artists like Eva Hesse spoke to me, whose interaction with materials and insistence on imperfection spoke of an unquenchable humanness.
As a painter, I embrace the ability to use materials to create tactile surfaces. There is a primary impulse to getting one's hands on something and discovering what one can do with it. The ensuing goal is to get myself out of the way and let the transformation happen. My hand becomes the fulcrum between internal center or heart and the external world, such that how I hold the brush, the razor blade, or the scraper, and the pressure of every mark is a mapping.
