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 paintings and drawings are led by improvisation and made without direct source imagery, so the figuration is shaped and filtered through my mind. I want to become more familiar with the workings of my mind, as I think an understanding of the paticularities of an individual mind is a route to understanding a shared consciousness. The faulty and contradictory nature of painting feels aligned with the experience of a mind and of being a person.
The often fragmented spaces in the paintings are influenced by the view from a top floor bus window; of various lights and reflections of city scenes and figures layered on top of each other in shifting scales and perspectives. Lampposts roccur as a motif, offering a substitute guiding light and moments of temporary clarity for the figures moving between them.
