I’m exploring a liminal space between figuration and abstraction in my work. For me, abstraction is the clearest way to communicate ambiguity and doubt - about art, about process, about life. It is clear because abstraction allows a shape to be more than one thing. It is clear because an image can reference everything and nothing. It is clear because it is not clear.

I use an alphabet of recurring and evolving shapes that reference the human body, touch, growth, sex, love, violence and aging. Those shapes hold those references but also present something surprising or uncanny, seeming both familiar and strange at the same time.
