Artist Statement
I make abstract paintings with paper. Through my work, I examine the theme of devotion: as an artist, I am inspired by the mastery of quotidian details through contemplation, meditation, and dedication. My works are heavily process and repetition driven. I begin by applying several layers of paper on a canvas; once the layers are dried, I repeat the process of stripping down the layers and building them again. As a result, my paintings have an archeological quality, as viewers can viscerally sense and see different levels and layers of paper that have been intentionally built and destroyed, leaving elaborate and complicated traces. Once completed, it is left with an intensely and intricately textured surface laden with fiber debris from paper.
