LINE PAINTINGS

This Earth-inspired painting series draws from ongoing research into desire paths, minimalist and duotone color palettes, simultaneous contrast, human-made habitats, and repetition-based design principles. The paintings are adjectival descriptions of motion and direction made manifest through saturated color fields which give form to otherwise unnamable feelings and sensations and consider the weight, vitality, and force exerted by abstract landscapes, especially their capacity to organize the space in their surroundings. They are often accompanied by painted sticks that rest on top of the frames or piles of (beautiful) rocks and (precious) dirt, challenging understanding of boundaries and embodying the intersection of material and conceptual landscapes.
