     I make representational art, strip it down to its pure form, and imbue it with emotion.
 
I work in industrial wire mesh because it’s such a simple, utilitarian medium - but it’s so expressive at the same time. It’s usually hidden under the structure, but I am bringing it to the surface so that my work can have a transparency about it, literally and figuratively. In this medium, I have found a way of fusing emotion and form together in a way that makes it worth my while to make art.
