My work is a practice in transcribing, both visually and linguistically, the experience of isolation; it pursues those ephemeral moments between sensation and thought, between the acts of becoming and unbecoming. The figurative forms embody the tension between these two states. 

These fundamental emotional experiences that create expansion or collapse within the mind are the moment the figurative ghosts are borne:  when one stops holding hands with a loved one, how loneliness expands in empty rooms, the smell of woodsmoke in the winter, the repetition of madness, forgetting a word in your mother-tongue, the moment loss creates a recklessness; things inherent and unending.
