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
Dimensional Paintings:
Working between the second and third dimensions fascinates me, and my most recent oil paintings highlight curved, dimensional forms assembled from photograph fragments. The surface of my paintings recalls the surface or depths of the ocean: the viewer is placed above or among flat images that cling to curling waves and receding gullies. My urge to resist storytelling has taken a back seat to the desire to illustrate an imaginary, moving, changing, and multi-faceted volume of activity.
As for my process, I warp and digitally manipulate photographs, and then print them on paper that is bent into models that are photographed and warped again. Painting from these multi-layered distortions challenges me to abandon a fixed point of view, and instead, mesh multiple vistas, surfaces and objects into a continuous, fluid illusion.
