Artist Statement
The underlying areas of focus for my work explore the interaction I’ve had with urban landscapes and architecture. The emphasis is on understanding new areas and familiar spaces, creating a memory based visual mapping system of each environment. The mapping systems created through observational drawings outline recurring interruptions within urban forms. The translation of each of these systems is through repeating similar linear outlines that build up weight and tone. Each of the repetitions informs the next, creating large abstract areas of noise and immersive tonal transitions. With the tonal transitions on a flat plane there is a play and interruption with the negative space surrounding the work itself, creating a disturbance with its setting or placement in the room.
