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

I investigate drawing and drawing’s relationship to materials through works on walls and on panels. I use un-typical drawing materials (threads, tape, fabrics) to create diagrammatic spatial outlines that are incomplete and that reference personal narratives tied to place. Some of the thread lines are tied to brads and suspended just above the support. I add parts of objects and material fragments to these outlines, as well as letters, text, measurements and abstracted elements.

 

I’m interested in connecting drawing to systems for translating 3D objects into two dimensions (such as projected coordinate systems and architectural blueprints). I use materials sparely. The partially-sketched drawings allude to buildings, diagrams, stretchers, maps and circuit boards.

 

The fragmented representations hint at narratives tied to precarity and impermanence.
