My most recent works explore fracturing the figure and adding movement through a process of overlapping areas, visual stutters, and overt surface history. I employ repetition as both a formal strategy and as a surrogate for internal conflict. Broken figures, multiple appendages, and obvious pentimenti add palpable agitation. Through distorted space, manipulating the human form, and figurative elements concealed in cloth, I toil to achieve a disquieting tension that serves both as a metaphor and as a symbol for empathy with the human condition.
