My paintings map cognitive spaces exploring language, memory and learning. I use the materiality and history of paint to subvert dominant culture and ideas of representation through tertiary palettes and textures. I create hybrid structures that exist beyond a binary and center queerness and androgyny in order to deconstruct systems and ideas through a lens of care and love.


Sourcing from archives of photos, memory, dreams, and histories in the interest of how these means of existing overlap, the paintings exploit the thresholds, errors, and edits created within these relationships. Inspired by the aesthetics of the Sims and magic of sci-fi, the abstract landscapes imagine extraterrestrial utopias that navigate and celebrate self-hood, home, and the unknown.

 

They are romanticizing making a new friend, capturing the coincidence of encountering a bug, the archives of personal data. They are nebulous landscapes with amorphous tokens of memory affairs. Mementos from past lives. 

 

I want to decode cryptic and abstruse emotionality to build a shared meaning of existence. To share my deepest thoughts and anxieties while learning yours. To construct a visual representation of the feeling of home, self-hood, and queerness. I want you to feel the overwhelming high of falling in love while simultaneously and anxiously falling apart. I want to make room for you to find yourself in my work in whichever way fits.
