- Public Abstract (ETD)
- Architectural and environmental boundaries define regions of empty space in the prints and installations I create. Linear fragments of artificial textures make up walls, cliffs, and hedges. I use synthetic materials and thinly-layer ink on paper to depict familiar surfaces. Each work follows basic principles of two- and three-point perspectives, but spatial illusions and diversions optically distort the compositions, making them ambiguous in both scale and form. My work illuminates how people observe their surroundings and the defining social, psychological, and economic, barriers of society. I draw from and respond to personal experiences in psychoanalysis and a childhood of privilege and isolation. My precise and rigid art practice is a symptom of that time and how I attempt to regulate my life.
