paintings
These large scale paintings transform spaces. Fascinating juxtapositions of opposing textures in maximalist patterned landscapes abound. There might be shiny passages of gold leaf traversing across matte rugged concrete, or sequins buried in venetian plaster. They are archeological studies, inspired by the impression of time on everyday urban spaces. Graffiti on a hundred year old underpass wall which has been destroyed and created anew, or a tattered layered silk remnant reimagined as pattern stamped on wax. They are magical to engage with from varying angles, and they transform into an entirely new painting as the light changes throughout the day and night.
Swallows
Swallows
Rows of swallows shift and shine in golds and navy across the moody deep grey venetian plaster ground. The swallows are various deeper and lighter colors that are layered and offset to create an organic movement across the ground. They appear to hover in front of the art itself like a mirage.
