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
Tissue Paper Paintings
2022
To create this recent group of paintings, I begin by collaging a ground of tissue paper shapes onto raw canvas. At this stage, I can play, shuffle, tear, cut, and rearrange until I land on a structure. Often, I am chasing after an image that slips between background and foreground. Then, I introduce a painted line that is generated from armature wire. I mold, twist, and snip the wire until a form emerges that plays nicely with the tissue paper ground. Painted with flashe, this black line is equal parts interrupter and unifier.
