Exploring bodies' capacities to expand beyond themselves-- queer figures as they relate to one another and natural environments. My work destabilizes the rectangular shape of a painting. I work between painting, drawing, and sculpture, transforming paper, found plexiglass, and canvas. The cut-out shapes float in the center of the room, casting shifting shadows that blur the figure and setting. The translucent grounds of the paintings lend a skin-like quality to the paint, while the reflected light through the brushwork creates layered depth. Contour drawings and loose, expressive brushwork that blur boundaries between bodies and landscapes. Material and visual sensuality clash against rough abstract mark-making as a brutish mode of expression. Ultimately, implied female figures and dramatic landscapes invite nuanced consideration of the intersections between bodies, desire, and the natural world.
