ARTIST STATEMENT

​

Through a process-based practice, my work delves into the concepts of

absence, change, and impermanence, exploring their profound impact on my

personal experience. Utilizing improvisation as a core approach, I draw on

elements of surrealism, abstract expressionism, and process art to bring these

themes to life.

​

I choose to show my process by disrupting and interfering with the materials

through cutting, rearranging, removing, and masking. By keeping the

imperfections visible, such as cutting marks, folds, wrinkles, and strokes, these

elements become essential visual components of the artwork to ultimately

highlight the themes of impermanence and change.

​

By rethinking the purpose of these materials, I infuse them with new meaning,

making the personal aspect of my work more visceral and emphasize the

potential for renewal and reinterpretation. The materials themselves, often worn

or discarded, carry their own histories and narratives, which merge with my

personal experience to create a richer, more complex visual dialogue.
