About the Exhibition
By forming a visual vocabulary for forces that have an Intangible form, I build and create imagined bodies and places that straddle my experience and imagination. I am drawn to the infinite possibilities in emptiness, in-between, and the fleeting. With a long background in dance and choreography, my art practice is activated by physicality and steady motion. I dissect personal interactions and observations into simple forms and colors that I associate with my experiences while leaving room for transformation. I relate to postmodern abstractionists and transcendentalist painters; Their consciousness of their surroundings and conceptualizations around energy flow and human perception greatly influence my process and development of work. This show explores possibilities born from the gaps and spaces in the every day, turning nothingness into creatures, timelines, and worlds.
