Press release

"The freestanding paintings in this series operate somewhere inside the void between illusory and three-dimensional space. I am interested in how making simple interventions to a flat panel, such as cutting and folding, can create opportunities for some surfaces to hide while others are revealed in a painting. Since there is no front and each painting has four or more planes, only fragments of the whole can be seen from a single position. By eliminating a forced point of view, I look to better understand the perception of space by combining flat planes that imply depth with physical shifts that occupy an actual area."
