Artist Statement

I paint situations that re-contextualize personal history in order to plumb broader social issues.

For several tears, I've been exploring power plays in a parochial school setting.

The viewer experiences each picture via cinematic angles and cropping, as well as layered imagery reminiscent of multiple exposures. Events are pieced together, or constructed, through the recurrence of motifs throughout the paintings.
For reference material I constructed a scale model based on the grammar school I attended, populated with clay figures and furniture.
