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 make wall-based installations that investigate drawing’s relationship to sculptural forms and to materials occupying space. These works create a quasi-spatial drawing environment where drawing exists as a tableaux having depth and material heft. They resemble sculptures partially flattened on a plane or paintings whose deconstructed parts assume quasi-illusionistic outlines and perspectival spaces. The works argue for drawing as sculptural medium in restricted space.
The works are assembled out of thread, fabric and papers, and bring line and picture-plane – traditionally regarded as 2D surfaces – into play with materiality, weight and transparency. I explore how 3D space is represented visually by referencing maps, projected coordinate systems and architectural blueprints. Within half-drawn outlines, materials are inserted and give physical instantiation to diagrams, drawn objects and abstract marks. The incomplete representations hint at narratives tied to impermanence.
I am interested in representations ranging from computer-driven iterations to archival maps and diagrams that depict textures, sites and environmental change.
