Lives and works in Hoboken, New Jersey
—
My work likes to live somewhere between figuration and abstraction, clarity and ambiguity, flatness, and sculpture. Each piece develops intuitively, aiming to digest some aspect of experience that is repeatedly on my mind. I build up the piece by trusting a loose vision, and as I experiment, I try to listen to the work, and see where it takes me, which feels like playing or thinking out loud.
I want to provide the viewer with some space of ambiguity and a freedom of interpretation - a space to impose their own visceral logic, associations and meanings upon the work.
