Elimination through the editing of thoughts, memories and experiences. This layering in my work signifies the momentary subconsciousness and consciousness. The journey I encounter during each studio practice, aims to rid of excess in order to guide me towards the closest thing to the truth of that moment. The absolute in the minimal, but through a more mindful engagement of the "now" - this process, I aim for in each image. The making of the work revolves around the call and response of the materials used, as well as a continual pull towards relinquishment of a controlled, absolute plan. The broad range of topics that surface in my work attempt to spur commentary on aspects of our lives, such as: environmental and industrial juxtaposition, food politics, word play, natural disaster, sustainable and simplified living, maturation from young age to older age and relationships in community. While seeking an engagement of anatomy, science, music, word, energy and spirit, I see a calling in question of our relationship with these forces.
