Imagine an entire ocean in a glass of water.

Through painting-installations, I create a world of abstract objects based on narratives of water and our relationship to it. These stories are about striving toward an unreachable goal and the beautiful brokenness that becomes the purpose of the journey: encountering the loneliness inherent in the feeling of awe; the wonder inherent in the banal; and the presence inherent in a void.

In the space between the visceral painted surface and the constructed image, in the potentiality of a blank sheet of paper, in the dialogue between romantic and conceptual practices, in the “Between” that separates memory and experience… this is the glass where I imagine- and reimagine- my ocean.
