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
Looking closely, endless piles of scribbled lines and geometric shapes have a confident fluidity of movements and gestures. Collectively these masses of marks create abstract environments. From a distance, however, they form a simple and unified image that starts to move toward representation. I hope that this creates a juxtaposition of feelings, such as comfort and relaxation from a distance, but can be visually disturbing and dizzying up close.
The act of adding each line on the paper is a highly sensual, pleasurable, meditative, and transcendent process for me because lines are very explicit alone but together quite unpredictable. I want my drawings to be confusing but intriguing, creating a dizzying sense from the repetitions of numerous lines. I mean them to be ecstatic, echoing the way I feel during the process of art making.
