Artist Statement
I’m interested in exploring the human body as the site of psychic state and emotional betrayal. Working in encaustic wax- a medium I choose for its resistance and physicality- I build forms through a process of accumulation and excavation. Layers are built up, fused, and scraped back– a cycle of accretion and dissolution that produces a state of simultaneous emergence and collapse of the human body. The surface affects a source of tension between representation and abstraction, control and surrender, meaning and chaos.
