Artist Statement

​

I have been in a constant search for objects, mostly from my past, to use as visual references and as triggers in my artwork. I have been celebrating the mundane, the ordinary, simple objects from my childhood. And up until now I have been satisfied with it as a language to get my message across. 

​

Having been exposed to acrylics, pastels, graphite, resin, fiberglass, concrete, ceramics, and woodworking, now I have decided to be the object.

The current body of work is focused on exploring the complexities within the self. Complexities that commence from how we perceive ourselves vs how others see us, to how the perspectives and depths of our personalities are in constant evolution. These abstract geometric works are based on the language of line, solid colors and form.

​

Simultaneously I am working on a year long meditative project inspired by the Japanese philosophy of Wabi Sabi and Ellsworth Kelly’s found cup works. This body of works is based on crushed cans found during my daily walks. It is these cans that are used as the seed to create one daily artwork.
