My practice is an ongoing excavation of shared intimacy - the charged space of “the personal.” In a culture saturated with spectacle and noise, the work insists on the radical power of quiet.I operate within a rigorous formal language: grids, coded shapes, restrained color systems. Yet the emotional register is anything but detached. These compositions function like love letters reduced to their essential structure.Feeling, here, is not an inward retreat but an outward longing - for touch, for community, for what was held and is now absent. In particular Skin Contact series was a response to the early days of the pandemic-induced isolation. Clothing holds onto memories and people, using t-shirts from past lovers and friends, or used bedsheets with an ex, these paintings become relics of bodily contact.Somewhere between Agnes Martin’s meditative restraint and Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s quiet devastations, the work holds love and distance in tension. It dwells in what is unsaid, in the charge of almost-touching.
