_{ARTIST STATEMENT}

<sup>Concealment is not absence. It is a revelation. The mask is not the subject. The system is.


My work is a system where form becomes legible. The mask is its foundation. I intersect layers held in chromatic tension and balance. 


My work is a system where form becomes legible. The mask is its foundation. I intersect layers held in chromatic tension and balance. I build incrementally through layers, lines, shapes, and pigment. I remove and dilute through a controlled language of two structural elements defined in the system: color and geometry. Through methodical workings of pigment varying viscosity and transparency. I move through space and structure.


My methodology is the structure that binds. One that is constructed execution where repetition and variation overlap without a literal translation. The result is a visual language. 


The visual language communicates across time, blending pattern with layers of reality and the subconscious through symbol, shape, and chromatic logic.


Concealment is not absence. 
The face is not the identity. 
The system is the subject.</sup>
