Portrait orientation. Landscapes. A 10:11 ratio. Symmetry. Material obsession. Pre-set guidelines permeate the work—a red thread, if you will.Wood-scapes. Escaped two-dimensional frames. Images turning into—or stepping over—boundaries and into rooms, car trunks, trailers, roof racks, shelves.Within the practice, the rite often overwrites the initial train of thought. Rather than arriving at a fixed intention, it leaves behind fragments spilled into a pattern—one that becomes categorized and gradually absorbed into the familiar process that defines the work.
