Artist Statement
I am an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary artist deeply committed to the exploration of creative expression across a myriad of media. Emulating the spirit of a modern polymath, my work is a tapestry woven from diverse influences. My journey of creating my work fills me with immense joy. It empowers me to confidently express my unique approach to artmaking in a spontaneous and energetic manner. I hold a profound affection for the tactile experience of painting on canvas. This has evolved into a process akin to sculpting clay directly on canvas.
In my recent work, I have delved deeply into the motivation of my work and discovered that when creating my pieces, I have begun to be open about what it is like to live with chronic pain, limitations, and disabilities. My work has moved from an exploration of beauty to an investigation into conversations with myself about what it is like to live with chronic pain and disabilities.
My new work has evolved into a new form of sculptural abstract art for me. It invites viewers to explore the emotional layers embedded in my pieces. I have created canvases that, in themselves, evoke a sense of movement. These layers of fabric on canvas allow the structure of the pieces to reveal hidden aspects of the work that emerge only when paint is added to the fabric-ed canvas. These pieces have taken on spontaneity and purposeful mark-making to create a visual representation of a momentary feeling. Additionally, I have drawn inspiration from the works of Sam Gilliam, blending colors within the fabrics of my pieces. Some of these moments have been brought together to continue a conversation, like a thought or a sentence. These woven fabrics and textiles I have incorporated into my work strive to evoke a sense of beauty and intrigue, expressing the private journey I have been on with chronic pain.
I want my work to be free from explicit meaning or direction from myself. I wish to encourage viewers to engage with the authenticity of my creations, allowing them to carve out their own interpretations. I would like the viewer to experience the wonder of the art I have created and, simply by its existence, be prompted to reflect and form a personal connection that transcends traditional narratives.
