Cette exposition présente deux séries parallèles commencées au printemps 2011. Débuté comme un processus basé sur le dessin, ce travail explore la fonction, la décoration et la stylisation dans l’art. Ce travail reflète ma curiosité face à la surface, la texture et le matériel et porte le dessin au delà de la ligne et du papier.
Le travail qui m’inspire est souvent subtil, lent et élégant. Il requière patience et temps de la part du public, plutôt que de venir à sa rencontre trop aisément et trop révéler rapidement. Je fais un travail qui est complexe, éveillant la curiosité du public.

This exhibition presents two parallel series started in spring 2012. Begun as process based drawing, the work explores function, decoration and stylization in art. This work reflects my curiosity for surface, texture and material, and an extension of drawing beyond line and paper.
The work that inspires me is often subtle, slow and elegant. It requires patience and time from the viewer, rather than coming forward and giving too much away. I make work that is intricate, sparking curiosity in the viewer.
