Art Statement
Although I identify my work by Material Abstraction, it is strongly driven by the collision of two antagonist forces: the physical body and the unconscious mind. Having spent time in Dance-Theater School, various dance studios and over a decade as a contemporary solo dancer, I view the canvas and the sculptural space not as passive surfaces, but as physical stages where muscular memory, kinetic strain, and emotional anatomy fight to find form.
I treat the creative act exactly as the psychoanalytic practice of free association, capturing the deep, contradictory tensions of the unconscious mind. Whether elongating the human form to its absolute architectural limits, trapping new found organic fragments inside a structured construction, or letting paint and substance bleed into atmospheric voids, I do not chase external subjects. An infinite, untamed universe already exists within us. My practice is a constant, deliberate confrontation with that beautiful and terrifying unknown, using the visceral texture of the physical world to give shape to the abstract poetry of the oneiric."
