Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
I am an artist who uses numbers. Employing sequences from numbers pi or e, I create wall-based geometric abstractions, where values of digits direct a composition’s formal structure. I look for simple and direct ways to combine industrial felts with acrylic sheet scraps as slow stitching, a traditional craft element found across cultures and time, binds layers together. My recent works combine languages of sculpture, embroidery, and weaving. They may allude to painting, drawing, or tapestry. Always straddling two worlds, the works reside on the periphery of established artforms, with a ubiquitous presence of negative space or a blank plane. This, I believe, a consequence of immigrating when young, to perpetually float between two cultures, always residing in between, never fully of one or the other.
