Based in the tradition of painting and drawing, my research engages with contemporary issues such as the recent Confederate Monument debates, the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, surveillance, and corporate branding practices. I translate data, objects, experiences, and sounds into abstraction and work within the gaps of what I see and what I feel. Working with traditional and non-traditional materials I exploit the interplay between the handmade and technologies; following my inclination to let ideas, rather than materials, lead my studio work.
