Across painting and woven works, my practice explores emotional volume — how a work of art can function as a psychological space, a visceral site designed to be entered and felt.
ARTIST STATEMENT
We don't just feel emotions — we inhabit them.
To be human is to move through a shifting internal terrain: a landscape shaped by memory, longing, rupture, and resilience. My work gives form to these inner landscapes, translating emotional experience into color, scale, and texture.
I do not paint shapes or weave objects. I build environments. Across painting and woven works, my practice explores emotional volume — how a work of art can function as a psychological space, a visceral site designed to be entered and felt. Each surface becomes a site of excavation, where the superficial is stripped away to reveal what pulses beneath.
In my paintings, light and shadow act as primary materials, forming atmospheric volumes that hold what we often carry in silence. In my woven works, I cut and interlace existing paintings, binding distinct visual stories into a single, inextricable whole — two moments held in sustained relationship, forming a structure capable of holding complexity.
My work is an act of mapping. These inquiries begin with the personal and reach toward the universal. Each piece invites the viewer to slow down, stand within a feeling, and recognize the profound reality of being alive.
