Rooted in a continuous exploration of my personal and mental displacement, my work falls within a spectrum of clarity versus ambiguity. These mindscapes are largely emotive and unfold as abstract panoramas. When working my primary objective is to react to the marks I am creating. The intentionality behind each stroke is like a language— specific, precise, and communicative.
These abstracted non-existent landscapes occupy the plausibility of locations that only materialize in my own mental world, within our intersectional identities.
