Statement

This latest body of work includes pigmented prints on Arches hot press paper and paintings on canvas that combine pigment print with acrylic and fabric paint. Layers of explosive colors, flowers, cars, and people orbit a damask motif. Color is intentionally lurid and teeters on the point of over-saturation to become an abstraction of itself. The frivolousness of the pattern mixed with falling people and disintegrating cars suggest insecurity and instability.
