Paintings

About

Drawing on outsider art sensibilities, my search for balance within the 2D picture plane involves layering labor-intensive patterns, shapes, and motifs- to create abstract narratives for the viewer to mine visually.20+ years of skateboarding inspire the aesthetics in my work by how I use texture, trial and error, vandalism, and unconventional painting techniques.I think of painting a residual representation of how consciousness creates reality. I want my paintings to comment on the relevance of handmade objects in a digitally saturated world.Other themes explored in my work include ideas about suppressed information, inter-dimensional communication, supersynchronicites, freedom, and the human condition.
