My materials consist of oil on canvas, and I draw inspiration from patterns and the intricacies of medieval tapestries. I aim to capture a presence in my work abstractly – an unnamable presence that feels vibrant, contracting, and expanding throughout the piece. Ultimately, the overall sensation evokes a blend of meditation and agitation.

I start my process by creating numerous pen-and-ink line drawings on paper. These drawings form the foundation of the paintings, evolving and transforming as I work on the canvas. As the painting develops, traces of the initial line drawing remain visible.

Through my approach of addition and subtraction, I create texture and depth. At times, I selectively remove thin glazes from the surface of defined forms, enhancing the complexity of the artwork. But it is the various impulses of my hand in creating the lines that express the different sensations.
