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
Artist Statement
In these paintings, imagery is about the drama of being or existing, because an image could easily shift to become just a shape or a color. A depiction of a person might be painted over, or be obscured into oblivion, or just sort of exist as an abstraction. Imagine a child squishing bugs and thinking it was at first a bug but now it's a brown splotch.
In a painting though, what is the difference between imagery and abstraction? A red painted splotch that just covered a face is beautiful and wonderful on its own. Any mark made is just a celebration of that mark and the context it is placed in or on. What a wonder? —Everything is so ephemeral, and an exaltation of its nowness.
