Paintings are depositories of the haptic. I make work that explores touch. My paintings are body-sized imprints of urgent kineticism. They are frenzied and loose gestures of charcoal and spray paint beneath thin washes of acrylic. These translucent layers of color both cloud and illuminate airy but dense compositions. The tempo is fast, acrylic dries quickly and I like to work reductively. I wait until an erasure will solidify into something harmonious. A cloud of dissonance structures the paintings to resemble imagined dreamscapes. They are collections of edges and a harmonious discordance of materials: acrylic, enamel, charcoal, paint-stick. They are expressions of the city and its frustrations.
