Vol.1 Winter 2024
My practice as a painter is guided by my daily meditation practice followed by a process of automatic drawing where the geometric forms and diagrammatic structures in my work unfold.For over a decade I have studied a variety of meditation traditions and techniques and integrate this parallel practice into my paintings that both embody and reveal a contemplative consciousness. Within my process, I translate information from alternative sources and unseen forces into forms that are containers or symbols for meditative qualities of quietude, stillness, and our multidimensional nature. The crux of my work centers around using the language of abstraction to counter the normative states of self and culture that I experience as fragmented and individualist. Through the investigations of geometric forms, I strive to create compositions that emanate stillness and a balanced state.
