The Land series investigates subtleties of human interaction, imagination, and transience through a network of organic linear forms that are continually emerging, growing, reaching, and intertwining. The series began as a study of delicate balance between positive and negative space, between what is visible and invisible, by way of quiet but intricate panoramas. While the forms are invented, they suggest such things as rhizomes, ribbons, neurons, or strands of muscle tissue. My intention is for the images to waver between definition and ambiguity, inviting the viewer to discover a unique interpretation and association.

The Excavation series begins by digging below the ground and reveals a subterranean network of colorful forms. In creating these images, I imagine building and traversing paths between observation and invention, logic and emotion, similar to a mind filled with thoughts that sprout and extend, curl and unfurl, tangled like a mass of unwound string or a clustered mound of roots.

The Ascent series follows the forms on an upward climb into airy, sky-like negative space, as variations in movement and tension suggest infinite possibilities, overlaps, endings, and beginnings.

The Buoyant series further explores the ribbon-like forms as they submerge and ascend in water-like and air-like surroundings.

In this series, the forms submerge and emerge, changing in color and visibility.

Series in gouache and marker, started during an artist residency in Noyers, France.
