The subject matter of my work stems from my belief that what we can currently measure is only a part of what exists. I believe there are fundamental forces, senses, and perspectives on reality that mankind hasn't yet developed instruments to quantify. Things that exist but are currently undetectable.
There are senses and forms of energy we haven't yet proven because we don't yet know how, but a lot of us can tell they're there. I use my paintings to communicate those things. The things that heal us, that shift our lives into perspective. The things that show us the path. I bring the numerical and mathematical side of science into my work through geometry, perspective, and quantum theory, and have long been drawn to the power of threes. One occurrence, meaningless. Two might be something. Three? Three commands attention. It's when you know you're not looking at coincidence anymore, but seeing the path and pattern. This is where basic instinct becomes science.
Science is only now beginning to understand how interconnected each facet of the body truly is. What were once treated as separate, unrelated systems — the autonomic system, the neurological system, the immune system, the lymphatic system — are all interconnected in ways we formerly couldn't measure or understand. What the body reveals about connection and interdependence, I believe holds true far beyond it. The body and its machinations work as a microcosm of what I see going on on a much larger scale.
I view the canvas as a constrained box and it's my job to break the plane, to transform it into something the viewer already knows and vaguely remembers. I often depict intangible meta-intuitive states as transparent or metallic forms. Transparent forms convey light, buoyant yet fragile states and metallics are weightier and more self-reflective.
I've been very fortunate to have so many viewers express the powerful sensation of being seen when they experience my work. At its core, the true goal here is the expression of deeper interconnection.
