To better understand a childhood spent managing sensorial experiences for my autistic brother, my paintings combine disparate sensorial spaces that are both forcibly disjointed or meaningfully connected. I am driven by the ambiguity of both visual and written language systems and the ways we can learn to communicate. To engage the viewer in slow-looking, I create body-affecting experiences through shifts of color, collage, and visual tempo. I want my paintings to feel like a Haruki Murakami or Italo Calvino novel; an open and scrambled experience of space. I consider these paintings living and breathing entities each with their own individual voice that can be fully heard only through prolonged looking or multiple viewing experiences.
