About the Artist

I make paintings of cardboard models and junk constructions.

My work is often inspired by the commonplace and familiar, but through the process of making takes on its own skewed logic.

In contrast to the making of these constructions, the process of making the painting is slow and deliberate – gradually establishing the form and its relationship to the space around it, exploring painterly tensions between illusionism and more direct mark-making that references abstraction.
