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
Through an intricate painting process with a maximalist tendency, my work transfers energy into images, which awakens the potential of perception hidden in the mind’s depths. It reflects my relationship to common human experiences related to spirit, unconsciousness, and fear.
I apply wax in fine lines and dots, layered and scraped away along the shapes formed. Some elements pass away and others stay within the painting’s entanglement, becoming something new that multiplies to form a new image. With fire I seal and archive the painted work, the traces of its process becoming translucent and superimposed, then chiseled away. The intensive labor becomes material, like amber over time.
