My work is a form of interactive therapy.

In this recent body of work, the goal is to move beyond the comfort of my own gesture, to arrive at a true unconscious act of painting, for movements and motions liberated through the certainty of an unknown result. It is a battle between the struggle for control and abandonment of expectation.

The most suitable analogy I can think of is that of a pregnancy. Each work is given all the necessary elements to become a beautiful child, the paint is the father, the canvas, the womb of the mother. The two are introduced and gestation occurs, water evaporates, paint solidifies. Then they are born. What will the work look like when born? I don’t know, but the beauty comes from this uncertainty.

The resulting works are expressive and energetic, at once both static and alive.
