Lot Essay

‘Sometimes I feel a strong need to make paintings that are unapologetically descriptive of what is immediately around me: Views of the city, the people I know, familiar hallways and spaces, or elements of nature that appeal to me. Other times, my work depicts a different kind of reality; one that is highly fictitious and free of the limitations of the “truthful” recording of my own experiences. In these paintings, motivations might come from outside my surroundings. People, places, and objects … reflect deeper political and personal narratives’
