A Study in Wax

​

From the keeper of stories by the ancients to medical biological archives, wax serves as a preservative of our most personal and human histories. 

As I marvel at our ingenuity, I am equally endeared to our flaws. My work seeks to find a confluence of perfection and our beautiful, unpredictable nature narrated by the human hand. I explore the polars of stasis and fluidity, meta space and the simplest of elements such as paper, ink, wax, and wood.​

The silhouettes I choose act as an aperture to a collision of place, time, and material. The specimens I collect are biopsies of the stories we unknowingly tell. Whether it’s a stroke of paint, the touch of a fingerprint, or something we cannot see, just below the surface lay a sea of memories. Through a mix of media, colors, and textures, each layer of my artwork reveals a tiny memoir.
