My practice explores how our bodies hold feelings, events, and trauma physically with an aim to visualize sensory phenomena. Dance, live music, and my own personal experience serve as the inspiration behind as well as the initial gateway to creating my compositions on canvas. I work intuitively which allows me to cathartically process my thoughts in a way that I would not be able to do with words alone. Figures transform, mingle, and weave through one another. They bend in ways that don’t make sense anatomically. Negative spaces are often filled with hair that takes on anthropomorphic traits interacting with itself as well as the figurative elements. The hair also symbolizes the passing of time and becomes a portal into the world I’m trying to build through paint. The human experience is hard to make sense of. I’m hoping to make more sense of mine through my work.
