Lives and works in Brooklyn, NY
1
Simultaneously exploring an abstract and hyper-real representation of the modern industrial landscape.
Industrial materials and processes confer fleeting moments of an industrial dialogue. Memory. Stillness. Fragments of the passage of time within space; transient conversations challenging the understanding of memory, and, more specifically, how memory is affected by time.
2
A principle of moments.
An acutely measured aesthetic process capturing the spontaneous graphic compositions in the insignificant occurrences of life. A transitory dialogue acknowledging the affect of incident on the construct of our surroundings, and in turn, reflecting our sub-conscious memories of space.
Works that depict equally an historical record, and an independent tangent in time.
3
An exploration and homage in composition.
Particular attention is observed in referencing graphic compositions of post-WWII abstract expressionist artists; Twombly, Kline, Newman, and Still, among others, assume a significant role in these conscious/sub-conscious post-graffiti surfacescapes.
