Artist Statement

My art is architecture—three-dimensional, rational, deliberate. It draws from the built environment but moves toward abstraction, exploring structure through repetition, pattern, and material limits.

My work begins with a methodical process—organized, planned, and grounded in a grid. Trained as an architect, I approach each piece as a constructed space, using canvas, paper, and traditional materials in nontraditional ways. Cuts and tears—made with awls, blades, and by hand—are deliberate gestures that explore rhythm, balance, and the physical limits of a surface. Nothing is removed; everything is reimagined.

What began as an observation of building wrap on construction sites—those overlooked tears that allow air and material to pass through—has evolved into a broader investigation of imperfection, adaptation, and transformation. I’m drawn to the small things we tend to ignore: a rip in fabric, a knot in thread, a tear in a fence. Repeating these elements across a structured field gives them weight—inviting attention, giving them presence.

Thread, twine, rope, and light itself become part of the composition. Shadows fill the voids. Grids begin to vibrate. Knots, usually hidden, become language—coded, rhythmic, and ever changing with the light. These works exist somewhere between drawing, sculpture, and textile—three-dimensional collages shaped by touch, time, and tension. They’re not static objects, but shifting landscapes meant to be lived with and looked at again.
