My work explores the tension between control and fluidity, the moment when materials seem to take on a life of their own. Using substrates like Yupo and BFK, I investigate how surface affects behavior. How pigment flows, bleeds, stretches, and dissipates. On Yupo, color remains perpetually wet and luminous, creating a sense of a living moment. On BFK, marks settle and seep into the fibers, grounding themselves. I am constantly fascinated by this difference, how each surface changes not only the finished product but the rhythm of making. 

Works often exist between painting and drawing: marks act independently but come together into larger, breathing forms. Scale and borders are ongoing experiments, a border for example can feel both like a constraint and a frame that enhances focus, redefining how space operates within the work. 

Material experimentation drives my process. Alcohol, wax, dye, and resist techniques introduce an element of reaction and unpredictability, a record of what happens when control is momentarily released. I'm drawn to the scientific and the organic, the ways that things spread, merge, and dissolve. Also to the inherent visual logic that emerges from that behavior. 

Ultimately, my practice is about observing transformation. How color, surface, and form can embody both stillness and motion, precision and accident. Each piece is a quiet study in how materials behave and how in turn, they teach me new ways to see and make.
