Seriality, modularity and reuse have become key ideas. I’m fascinated with clarity and ambiguity, accumulation and structural patterns, with flexibility and unrepeatability. I paint and print with all sorts of plant-based and human garbage detritus, especially packing materials, which have come to dominate our life in the past few years. This work is process-driven, temporal, while mixing intention with chance.
A lifelong resident of New York’s Hudson Valley, I am an artist and writer who works mainly in encaustic (monotype and painting) and cyanotype, as well as with nontraditional materials like automotive exhaust, motor oil, and spray graphite. I work in the reflected shadows of the Hudson River School of painting, as well as in the light cast by the ever present environmental reckoning that comes with the resurrection and resolution of the Hudson’s historied polluted waters.
