Confluence explores the potential for abstraction to meaningfully engage memory. The fluidity of surfaces interrelates with imperfections of recollection. Pivotal moments come into sharp focus; others are imprecise. A process-based practice on aluminum honeycomb panels, the exploratory process of building layers and deconstructing them through sanding and scraping emerges as an integral component of the work. 

​

The exhibition also includes Crossing Lines, which draws on the literal and figurative uses of the word "line" — bloodlines, headlines, lines of civic boundaries and lines of individual identity, and lines that are emotional, spiritual, and physical. 

​

I focus on the relationship of unpremeditated actions of building a surface with the repetitive patterns of drips, hand-drawn grids, fragmented shapes, and unfound imagery to create a visual image where the arbitrary and systematic are at play.
