about my work

Our smartphones have become windows perpetually open to the world. Artistic production has evolved into a complex dance between presence and absence, connection and disconnection. For the last ten years, I've narrowed my focus, exploring trans-disciplnary work that indulges physicality, co-presence, and ephemerality, witnessed and documented by my smartphone.

At the heart of my practice are humble, repeated marks— moments made solid, heartbeats, clock ticks, or breaths. Rules and systems animate the mark-making and allow my drawings to evolve organically. The individual marks crystallize thought and index a moving body's actions. Collectively, they coalesce to quantify a fixed duration in space and time, inducing depth and movement reminiscent of swarms, fields, storms, or undulating topographies as visual metaphors for the structures of time and experience. By repeatedly drawing time, space emerges. These large-scale public works are phenomenological maelstroms anchored in space-time. They invite viewers into a perceptual field where the entire drawing event becomes the enduring image. Designed to disappear and meticulously crafted over hundreds of hours, my drawings ultimately exist only as shared memories, digital images, or videos.

My expanded drawing practice has become equal parts obsession and meditation, publicly rendering monuments to moments as they pass. Inspired by questions about time, duration, phenomenology, and mark-making, my projects have taken me around the world. Experienced on urban surfaces, building facades, museum walls, or in self-constructed freestanding rooms in the Americas, Europe, and Australia, my work dissolves the boundaries between process and product, embracing time as material and site. .
