artist statement:
Residing in Chicago for the last ten years, I have become fascinated by the gridded metropolis and how physical structure influences culture. Chicago's landscape is layered with industrial history. The architecture tells the history of a city while dictating the present realities of urban life. The city is a place of vastly diverse humanity. There is serendipitous possibility and yet there is also a sense of anonymity in numbers.
I began to explore my interest in the urban experience through a series of collaged cityscapes consisting of found materials, gouache, photographs, charcoal, natural pigments, and fiber on paper. More recently I have been working on canvas. I am articulating an abstract visual language to render the city landscape. I layer collected materials using color as a unifying base. The compositions become richly textured and create a complex surface. Through the use of materials, the arrangements build into a narrative about the society within the city’s physical structure.
