”Journey”

My work focuses on painting and collage. Both are a highly personal search for a resolution. It is the search that interests me. The work I do is about memory, change, and life’s unpredictability. 

My interests are texture, pattern, opacity, transparency, and surprise. I focus on change and literally trying to put the pieces together. Dreams and literature play a significant role in my new work. 

I begin with a range of ideas exploring the imagery as it progresses.  Integrating both the real and imaginary is very exciting to me, and I find that sharing my ideas with the viewer, and having something hidden, gives me a great deal of satisfaction.

”Shift

I imagine each piece I make is on its own journey, just like everything in Nature transforms in lineage of time & space. I decenter myself and find peace accepting that I am a tiny part of a larger cycle. It allows me to cope with turbulences and disappointments in life.

I get inspired by observing resilience and balance in precarious journeys of all existence in nature, while all of us suffer from vulnerability and randomness of existence. I construct forms using strips of clay catching the right moment of dryness. The current body of works represents slow incubation of inner strength, cautious hope and resilience with optimism in life.

I create empty but charged space using linear elements to articulate the hidden energy in nature, which transforms and pushes everything through its journey. I use linear units in my form assembly as a metaphor of paradoxical adaptability in time and space.

”Mapping the Mindscape”

“Mapping the Mindscape” presents my recent monochromatic drawings. These drawings are forms of thinking made physical. They record a history of my thoughts and experiences throughout the journey of art making. Materials used: graphite, charcoal, China Marker, wax pastel, conte, and colored pencil on archival artboard and paper.

I liken my process to mapping the internal activity of rationalizing, reasoning, and decision making. Meticulous details are slowly delineated on the paper surface until a final image emerges. Although time consuming, the process provides a balance of structure and chaos that is fulfilling to me.

During the making of these drawings, the process was often exploratory and experimental. As a result, I discovered new directions into previously unknown territories of possibilities. This discovery inspired me to explore further. I invite the audience to engage the work with an openness, allowing their imaginations to travel to places yet unknown, as the world of imagination is boundless.
