The world we live in is contingent on, and influenced by, massively unpredictable systems that define an understanding of space, place, and depth. My paintings are a conglomeration of signs, where the accumulation of imagery and painted layers creates a perplexing and tenuous notion of the “whole” built from many discrete fragments of perception. My artistic practice explores the possibilities of an incongruent visual field, derived from visual information in the built and natural environment, as ample fuel for speculation of utopian possibilities. Most of my work contends with various painting languages of abstraction, naturalism, digital codes, and diagrammatic schemes to produce a compounded view. The paintings' surface complexity is a product of the continual accumulation of visual imagery and materials. My work has evolved from overt messages disparaging energy production and distribution, to utilizing environmental phenomena as a metaphor for catharsis and speculative futures that foster co-dependency and resilience. Ultimately, my work offers a visual experience which invites the viewer to contemplate the role of land(scape) in shaping the cultural imaginary.
