Bygone

My work explores the intersection between structure, landscape, and human experience. Inspired by aerial views of farmland and the ordered patterns of roads and city streets, my paintings translate these landscapes into layered abstract compositions. From above, fields, intersections, and neighborhoods reveal the quiet geometry that shapes how we move through the world and connect with one another. Each painting develops through a process of layering, scraping, erosion, and staining. I work with a variety of materials, allowing them to interact and respond to one another as the surface evolves. Earlier marks remain visible beneath later ones, creating textures that suggest time, memory, and the accumulation of lived experience. The process is intuitive and often unpredictable. I embrace the element of discovery that occurs as the work unfolds, much like the unexpected turns that shape our lives. Through these layered surfaces and intersecting forms, I aim to reflect both the structure of the landscape and the human stories that exist within it.
