“The organic and loose, yet attemptive geometric shapes, division lines, plateaus, and colors, as well as the interplay of these elements in this work is the result of the processing of my interaction with my own experiences here within space and time. A form of reflective meditation. Deconstructing and compartmentalizing the constant chaos that surrounds me. The colored shapes are stacked and severed, compiled and archived, an inventory of information I can not seem to let go of, even when haunting or traumatic. This process is non-linear and largely seems to have a mind of its own, although I have become the vehicle for the documentation of it, my attempt to make sense of it all.”
