STATEMENT:
My practice is centered around experimentation and material exploration. I am always seeking to develop new techniques and improvise as I go along, valuing the process as much as the final product. I like to let chance and natural forces play a role in shaping the outcome of my works, combining the forces of nature and human influence to create unique expressions.
I establish a premise for each piece, but allow some of the creative process to be shaped by nature and chance, creating works rooted in primal culture with the materials' inherent qualities dictating the final outcome. My aim is to produce raw, simple, and honest artworks that prioritize form and materiality, challenging traditional artistic conventions by tapping into primitive and instinctual forms of self-expression.
Currently, I am particularly interested in working with vibrations and frequencies, and their visible expression through laser beams and cyanotype. I strive towards an expression that draws on our common animistic past and points towards the future.
I hope to blur the line between man-made or futuristic artifacts and natural occurrences, and raise questions about the origin of my pieces.
