The Rust work consists of a series of relief paintings on panel. On each charcoal-gray field of latex paint rests an abstract, minimal and geometric form that incorporate strong architectural elements. The design is predetermined by sketches made on graph paper as the strict grid governs each shape. Cast molding squares and hieroglyphic-like designs are carefully made by hand. Next, rust is applied and as the metal oxidizes the deeply textured surface transforms and evolves into something infinitely fascinating. Resembling the process of natural decay, velvety earthy colors with nuanced surfaces cover the geometric forms. Through this, I strive to create a dynamic tension between industrial and organic elements that call attention to the manipulation and transformation of materials.

The Strata series are collages created through a process of improvisation. Layer upon layer of found papers and mixed media are directly adhered to a wood panel and then scraped, peeled, and sanded away. This spontaneous process of addition and removal creates an organic multi-layered texture where layers are buried and revealed simultaneously. This work produces a soft overall visual field where the eye is free to roam and find surprising detail wherever it rests.
