I was reflecting on the body’s relationship to gravity, and the ways in which we can use material to evoke levity, gesture, and breath. The surface has absorbed and held on to the traces of my process. How the work reflects your practice as a whole: This body of paper works connects back to my earlier two-dimensional paintings from over a decade ago. The process of layering, transferring, and pouring stains parallels the momentum of my action painting practice, carrying forward the same energy and physicality into a new form. It speaks to my ongoing exploration of transformation, where gesture becomes embedded in material, and where painting and sculpture blur into one another as living, breathing surfaces.
