The media are not toys… they can be entrusted only to new artists, because they are art forms.

Rupture: a small hole, a split, a crack in the wall.
Through my personal paintings I seek a place to mediate
and inhabit where art and design can become
mended together, a state of being. Sometimes the
freeform world of art presents itself as a mode of
critique for design, layering my design work towards
more contemplated depth.
As urban design is all too often the beginning of loss:
losing individuality, losing community, losing meaning
itself. Painting is a medium in which I find the expressive
power to critique and understand the limitations
of the corporate design interface.
This series of paintings have a cloying palette where pastel and neon cohabitate. They are simultaneously about mental map making and identity. They are sometimes interiors and sometimes architectural landscapes. It’s a world where architectural and corporate order dissolves into cloying sweet cohabitation.
