about
StatementI use line as an indication of surface, contour and continuity. Line implies a uniformity - denoting an equal value along its length, like that used in cartography and meteorology. Creating a striated surface allows for interference, through fracture and glitch. If the line is a signal, the break in the line becomes noise. It is this disruption which I investigate through my painting practice: creating the plane, only to break it apart, the fragments dissipating and coalescing into new and ambiguous forms.
