In a time when information is constantly updated and quick answers are often expected, I approach painting as a place where one might pause and attend to thought and sensation.
Fragments of memory and sensation from everyday life are sometimes recalled not through words, but through color.
Starting from this intuition, I translate these fragments into layers of color on the canvas.
Through the repeated process of painting, scraping, and layering again, color does not feel entirely predetermined.
Rather, it gradually emerges through the act of painting itself.
The white that appears in the paintings may feel like space, or sometimes like light, while at the same time retaining the material presence of paint.
Because of this, the painting can be experienced both as a surface that stands before us and as a space that opens beyond it.
Through the accumulation of layers and time, subtle relationships begin to appear between light and material, presence and space.
Through my work, I hope to open a pictorial field where viewers may return to their own sensations and memories.
