LOVE ON PAPER

LOVE ON PAPER

 

IMBUED WITH INTENTIONALITY
I view my practice as a way of expressing how I experience the world, as an act of love on paper. It stems from a desire to show that despite how separate we may feel or how disjointed our life may seem, everything is all intimately connected forever—we are all disparate pieces that form a beautiful whole. It’s about oneness, even as it celebrates individuality—it’s part synesthesia, part meditative practice. I think of Steve Jobs:

“Eventually everything connects...You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.”

I like the whatever as much as I like gut, destiny, life and karma—it’s all a blend, from the mystical to the mundane realities of existence, I want to create work that captures it all, that evokes feeling and radiates the meditative energy that created it.
