Artist Statement
My process involves constructing, deconstructing and fragmenting images, data, and information geometrically into triangulated segments. My recent paintings, work and projects investigate the relationship, communication, and documentation of the exchange of energy between the art, the artist and the viewer. I am interested in connecting people through art events, blogging, networking, art projects and my new art space in Bushwick, NY called The Border.
