Statement

Statement

My practice is primarily informed by the structures and textures of the urban wasteland, environments that demonstrate decline and atrophy as a result of time and climate. The work is created by layers of mixed media and gradually pared down to invoke suggestions of isolation and detachment hopefully educing something of the melancholy of the source material.
