My work involves the tension between control and chaos. An ever-present grid creates a framework for images that are stripped of their intended meaning. What remains are abstract compositions that hint at sky, art, architecture, horizon and earth. I see my work as exploring the line between sane and insane, order and disorder. I am interested in the way we attempt to define the inexplicable.
