Layers of Practice…

My work grows out of close observation and research into how humans experience, shape, and remember place. Each body of work begins with a process of study—walking, drawing, photography, material exploration, reading, and paying attention to the traces that remain in the environment. These investigations often lead to distinct series, each with its own form and visual language, but all connected by a curiosity about how memory, perception, and human presence are embedded in the world around us.

Some series draw from ancient spaces, such as Aesthetic Primitive and Contemporary Cartographies, where hand-carved caves or archaeological ruins become frameworks for exploring containment, history, and the marks left across centuries. Others, like White Paintings and Imaginative Observations, focus on the fleeting qualities of light, color, and movement—moments that exist only for an instant and then dissolve into memory.

Though each project takes a different approach, what ties them together is an attention to the shapes and surfaces that hold experience: the curve of a wall, the shadow across stairs, the shifting hue of snow, or the distortion of light underwater. Through drawing and painting, I work to transform these observations into visual languages that capture both the permanence of structures and the ephemerality of perception.

In this way, my practice moves between the ancient and the contemporary, the solid and the fleeting—seeking connections that reveal how we see, how we remember, and how we inhabit the spaces around us.
