At its broadest, my painting practice is an inquiry into form and representation, examining and questioning the fault lines of representational art, abstract expressionism, and digital image making. My process begins with cutting and digitally collaging figurative elements which range from flora and fauna, cityscapes, human anatomy, and cars. Digital strokes coalesce with the traditional techniques of oil on canvas, where landscapes, figures, and forms drawn from the fraught annals of art history and visual culture compete for space, engulfed in forests of textured brush strokes and surrealist gestures. Foregrounding the confluences, tensions, and slippages between the representational and the abstract modes, my works invite reflection on social, historical, and political contexts that underlie their making.
