ART AND ARCHITECTURE
I create large site-specific drawings for private and public commissions in playful dialogue with distinct elements of architecture. My work layers essentially simple forms that work together to make a more complex whole. My drawings shape large and medium scale environments into elegant and lyrical spaces allowing a dynamic relationship to arise between the artwork and the viewer. In my murals, art is not a contemplative object. The public becomes a co-creator of space and are invited to “live” their space, to inhabit it more deeply. The drawing becomes inhabitable.
I am adept at creating work that speaks directly to a space, its flow, architectural character, and the potential interactions of passersby using innovative materials and design.
I am powerfully moved by art’s capacity to transform the relationship we have with the urban environment and with ourselves. My whimsical installations play with existing architecture, creating intricate labyrinths that provide a pathway from the public sphere into a contemplative realm, thus linking two very isolated worlds.
The intricate lines and repetitive patterns of my drawings cohabitate and collaborate with surrounding architecture, enhancing the beauty of the existing environment. I continually draw inspiration from all the different places I have experienced--from the labyrinthine chaos of Mexico City to Spain and San Francisco’s rapidly transforming psyche.
I present my work as a playful game and examination of the world that has led me to the discovery of urban street culture and the interconnectedness of human beings.
