Personal Statement
As a painter, I lean on words like uncovering, restoration, archaeology, etc. I look towards actions like becoming and revealing. I carry this obsession towards events carried by the progression of time, making things that are in conversation with the predecessor, the interpretation of pattern and shape. I would fall back on lofty terms like introspection and reflection, thinking it a bit esoteric, a bit spiritual. But, in the end, I'm just painting.
