BOUND

In my body of work, Bound, I explore literal and figurative concepts of being constrained and constricted. The connectivity that exists among the visual, cerebral and emotional ideals of BOUND are brought forth by minimal compositions and reduced palettes, which allow varied and personal interpretations. My intent is to capture an account of the earthly condition, as we and all that exist are affected in many different ways.

I paint in wide array of mixed-media with a multitude of fibrous additions.  The images and surfaces are built up to be relief paintings. The subtle to extreme textures give a sense of longevity and history, as though time has left its mark upon the image. The underpinning of grids and lines gives each painting a sense of constructional or geographical order. I intend for my compositions to exceed the boundaries of their surfaces, as though they are close-ups or small passages, allowing just a glimpse of the entire story.
