About the work
I have been very intrigued by the human capacity to endure and heal. These abilities are just a few of many that contribute to the totality of being human and living a human life, which is a commonality that all of us share and therefore connect with. My work references the healing process by investigating the visual language that various materials offer to my concept. Working with different elements such as wax, plaster, and metal as well as traditional oil and acrylic paint helps to illustrate the obliqueness of the subject matter itself. The luminescence and malleability of wax, the rigid and reflective nature of metal as well as the silky, sensuousness of paint work in a unique way that illustrates not just my own creative process but also the process of coping and healing.
