Art is a human creation, the joy in imperfection.
The ability to convey an emotion,
to capture a place, share a connection.
My particular practice receives inspiration from illustration;
The use of a singular dark line to build out an image.
The shapes of silhouettes, the gradient sky,
Blocking in shadows, crisscrossing lines.
Leaving the negative, embracing the missing;
Curating moments within finite fields.
There is a beauty to old works, and the knowledge that comes with the passing of time that the artist did the best they could; that maybe they were not seeking to capture things perfectly, but to capture the impression that was made upon them. That is what I strive to do: to experience a moment of natural, numinous beauty that so overwhelms it compels me to make my joyfully imperfect attempt at recapturing it.
