The human figure and the power of color have always been at the centre of my work.
In my current works, I play with the comparison of houses and the bodies we are
born into. Our bodies are vessels for an inner life that reflects to the outside. Human
eyes are windows to an inner site. Oftentimes we long to find our home, just as we
long to find our true selves.
The medium I use is acrylic. For me, painting is a process of exploration of color
and construction and deconstruction. My paintings characteristically consist of
thin pieces of acrylic paint that come together on canvas. I start by creating an
image on an acrylic layer, then cut it into strips. Similar to the weaving of a tapestry,
I recompose the image on canvas. This mechanical means of creating plays against
the canvas underneath to produce a vital and intense afterimage.
