My works are disembodied architectural artifacts. Removed from an unknown larger whole, they stand as a testament to the existence of that building or a past state now altered. They allude to waste materials typically discarded or destroyed in the process of renovation or buried beneath new structures. Such transformations create a palimpsest through old footprints of walls, doors, windows, and vestigial utility remnants. This architectural geo-stratification guides the viewer through a forensic history of a space, as well as the oscillations and vicissitudes of matter in the grip of time. In studio practice these pieces developed as explorations of surface; how the graffito mark and paint could be added and removed through processes, both harsh and delicate, to develop a chronicle of time. Over the last four years, this experimentation has lead to the inclusion of plaster, concrete and other architectural materials and methods. This culminates in the paintings’ underlying structures transforming into essential, complex and layered elements that drives the work into a more sculptural realm. Ready-made inclusions and found objects help to narrate the painted and constructed surfaces. The wall papers, frames, utility elements, piping and electrical wiring all speak to a functional, and domesticated past, thus imbuing the simulacrum with a sense of voyeuristic allure
