Abstract

Through abstraction, my paintings and sculptures explore the disorientation I felt during my recent visits to Chicago and the Costa Rican mountains. By piecing together the fragments of sensory stimuli that overwhelmed me, I have subjectively reinterpreted the instability within my memory of the mountains and city. In working with geometry, I acknowledge the trajectory of abstraction within landscape painting�s history towards the geometry of modernism. Utilizing imperfect geometric shapes, mixed media, artificial color, and diagonals, the works break from the rigidity of autonomous geometric abstraction to include aspects of reality.
