My work focuses on the art of repair. A decade ago, while rehabilitating from a serious accident I started to equate the therapeutic processes my body was going through to my artistic practice. After studying historic mending techniques, I began using a variety of materially driven processes where the work hovers between two-dimensional abstraction and physical representation, each piece going through separate phases of construction, destruction, and reparation.”
