ARTIST STATEMENT

I work through repetition, erasure, and incremental gesture, allowing surfaces to evolve through layering and removal. Over time, the practice has become a distillation  - a paring-back in which the simplest marks carry weight.

Earlier works involved ephemeral paintings made with earth, sand, and weather, embracing impermanence as material. In the studio, this continues through processes of laying down, pulling back, and reworking. Gravity leaves its trace. Surfaces are excavated slowly.

Dots and lines return across the surface, accumulating into structures that hold rhythm and pause. The palette remains spare  - whites, greys, ash tones  - creating space for restraint and variation.

The work operates between control and release, repetition and erosion, structure and fragility.
