The paintings sit in tension between presence and absence, structure and erosion, the fixed and the disappearing.
My current series, Residual Ground, develops this investigation through a sequence of mixed-media works. Beginning with the last legible form — a tree, the final fixed point — the series traces a path of gradual deconstruction, as the system that holds landscape together begins to shift. What remains are traces: fragments of horizon, vertical interruptions, depths that suggest place without confirming it.
The work draws on the quiet instability of natural spaces — diffused light, eroding detail, the slow reassembly of what memory retains. Each painting operates as a trace rather than a depiction, inviting the viewer to inhabit the work rather than simply observe it.
