Artist Statement
Inspired by sources ranging from cave paintings to modern graffiti, and asemic writing (mark-making that resembles text but carries no linguistic meaning) this series explores the dialogue between the ancient past and the distant future, asking the question, “What will graffiti look like a thousand years from now?”
By developing new techniques utilizing unconventional materials including latex and metallic pigments, I am able to apply multiple layers of paint and then peel away sections to reveal what lies beneath. In this way I play with time and delve into the archaeological past of the painting itself.
This process of concealment and revelation mirrors how civilizations leave traces; some preserved others lost to time, and still others discovered only through careful excavation, and ultimately how wet discover ourselves through these efforts.
The finished piece becomes a treatise on time as having passed, some portions becoming irretrievable, yet others emerging visible through the lens of this new visual language. Each layer exposes a different temporal moment, creating a visual palimpsest that speaks to memory’s fragmentary nature.
My work deals with regret and loss and ultimately, hope. The act of peeling away layers to uncover hidden marks parallels how we excavate our own buried experiences, sometimes painful, sometimes revelatory. I want the viewer to feel a bittersweet combination of longing and quiet wonder, recognizing in these layered surfaces that which is universal to all human expression across time
