I explore the infinite flow of the natural world in textured paintings. Connection and growth. Transformation and stillness. These concepts are conveyed through my version of cloisonné: lines of thickly applied acrylic paint that bind the surface together into a cellular, botanical structure. Like a growing flower or a volcanic eruption, radial patterns emerge from a central point.
I create surface richness by blending painting and sculptural techniques. The acrylic paint may be cast in a mold or extruded. Dried paint pieces can be collaged. Enamel-like glazes contrast with flatly painted backgrounds. The substrate of the work is carved, creating an irregular surface that interacts with the paint layers. The frame is incorporated into the artwork.
