My newest body of work, Architectonic Gestures, consists of interlinkingstructures that explore the relationship between wall, ceiling and floor, between psychic space and physical space. This series encompasses three-dimensional landscapes that appear frozen in the midst of a chaotic event. I incorporate drawing and painting with heterogeneous objects, igniting play between the structure of the gallery and the theatrics of a gesture and the painterly mark. This sense of theater is a formal extension of the shadows cast by the gallery lights, the configuration of the wall, ceiling, and the intrinsic architectural nature of the given space.
My work juxtaposes found objects, home building materials, architectural models
and abstract painterly approaches to signify [imply] a shift between topography, natural disasters, and tension between physical landscape and landscape of the psyche.
