I think of my studio as a science laboratory, a place where I can study and celebrate color as a quality of light. Color plays a dominant role in our perceptions of the world and our construction of reality yet, it is completely subjective. It is a catalyst. Arousing emotion, eliciting memories and providing a sense of self. These are some compelling ideas with infinite possibilities and potential.

I begin by disassembling light into wavelengths focused on hue, saturation and value. Drawing influence from music, I then arrange around 600 segments to read as visual beats or steps in time. Each one resonating as a note in the collective, but working together in a chromatic ensemble performing a passage of time brought into shape. These shapes act as entryways and portals that meet in corners and stretch from the wall activating a sense of disequilibrium between the known and unknown. This is where I find the thrill that fuels my practice and the opportunity for surprise and delight.

Using the industrial paint 1Shot enamel and drawing inspiration from music, traditional folk art, and the mechanics of the optical experience my work is in conversation with the past with an eye on the future.
