My work indexes place through the compression of photographic sources and the documentation of the less concrete: sound, movement, and the sway of light across surfaces. Through the forms of painting, drawing and textile, the completed surfaces memorialize moments. I am combining planes of information through stencils, thin lines drawn with ink, and areas of thick geometric painting that allow for both rest and support in the compositions. The “sites” I work with range in scale from the cast shadow of a glass of water to more expansive landscapes, spaces and memories.
