Artist Statement

My work is a steady questioning of painting as a flat, immobile, two dimensional object. For instance, “Bolts of Blue” takes a painting from one wall, across the room to another.

Increasingly, such ideas have necessitated working with collaborators—with mechanics and electricians for my individual works and with artists around the world for my large-scale projects, in the guise of TransCultural Exchange. These collaborations have allowed me to expand my ideas of what defines not only a painting, but art itself.
