Artist Statement

My work explores the themes of transcendence, deep focus, and the flow state to create meditative works that are sensorily and emotionally resonant. Across mediums, I focus on mood, nostalgia, the concept of play, and the human condition, filtered through a synesthetic lens, to create poignant translations of recognized emotional states. My audio-visual works take advantage of the transfixing potential of expressive soundscapes and simple, joyful forms to create an immersive experience that is both familiar and charming, yet intangible, like the remnants of a dream. 

Through hand-cut, analog shape-making, I employ color fields, atmosphere, sound, and composition to construct amorphous spaces that are innately tied to our deeply rooted human feelings, and I embrace the complexity of our mentality, the nonbinary of mood, the authentic aspects of our melancholic yet miraculous existence. With all of my work, I invite my viewer to step away from their day-to-day, clerical life to share in a moment of deep reflection and feeling, a type of focus that only comes in the sublime moments of life where one is totally transfixed and transported from the everyday, reminded of the wonder of life and the vivid impressions it can evoke. ​By stepping into this realm myself as I create, my works serve as relics of a peaceful existence that is simple and human.
