Perceptualism (2020-22)

Based on the idea that our perceptions are abstract representations of the truth, this series references the gap between the real and the perceived by combining disparate imagery and painting styles and effectively distorting the spatial relationships between people and environment. These paintings depict moments on the verge of change in which semi-coherent narrative is used to embody a larger span of time and meaning. Transparency and masking reveal layers of paint, highlighting the art-making process as a subject in itself. The works are often partially incomplete, compelling the viewer to engage with the work in an act of their own creation, thereby completing the work.
