Working with reclaimed paper, I build abstract compositions through layering, cutting, and fixing sheets in place before any final image is known. Creases, edges, joins, and overlaps establish the underlying structure of each work, allowing form to emerge through process rather than design.

Painted and sanded surfaces expose earlier stages of the work, while drawn and painted lines follow the inherited geometry of the paper beneath. These lines register boundaries, interruptions, and shifts in depth rather than describing forms.

Alongside linear responses, curved marks and circles occasionally appear, drawn from the arcs, folds, and partial curves present within the paper itself. These shapes are not imposed as symbols but evolve as distilled responses to the material’s existing movement and tension.

Gold leaf appears intermittently as a residual element within the surface, catching light rather than asserting narrative or symbolism.

Each work records a specific sequence of actions, where structure, surface, and time remain visible, and composition emerges through attention, repetition, and restraint.
