My work is a mixture of printed elements, collages and painting to create a made up abstract world for the purpose of escape. This is my own personal landscape based in fantasy to make sense of current events. I collect photographs and drawings of plants, horizon lines and other forms found in my environment, reinvent the elements, rearrange the parts, and create new forms while still referencing the source. Imperfect patterns from flora are layered to explore existential questions of belonging. These natural elements are combined with shape shifting, space bending geometric forms. I seek to create a moment, if even brief, of pure unhindered bliss; a moment of connection between self and the world around, interconnectedness of all parts of the cyclical nature of life and death. Colors and shapes are emotional responses influenced by light, natural and man made; such as the sky, sunsets, sun soaked plant life, video games, and animated media. My work searches for calm and a sense of belonging found in the moment when you pause between breaths and thoughts cease to exist. I seek to create a visual representation of these brief moments found in meditation on nature fused with the noise of anxiety, technology and chaos.
