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
My work synthesizes the delicate negotiation between the sensory experiences of the body and the cognitive ordering needed to process them. Pattern is integral both in form and content, acting as structure and metaphor to create a place where sensuality and order meet.
Discarded, mass-produced fabric items inspire carefully crafted still life paintings in oil or gouache, countering the ever-increasing pace at which these types of products are produced and consumed. As an act of reverence, each item is painted to scale. The paintings insist on the space between representation and abstraction, recasting what may otherwise be overlooked as banal into singular poetic experience.
