In my works on paper (2017-2019), I am drawing the sum of forms from the human figure on a page. I’m interested in the relationships created by the different forms, lines, and colors bringing about a uniquely personal reality. Sometimes I draw from the model, fusing three hours of poses onto one piece of paper and sometimes from a dancer, recording the consecutive movement of forms. I start with thinner marks, adding weight and color as the poses progress. Intuition plays an important role in terms of where and how the figure will be placed. I allow myself to work fast and to erase frequently. Contours appear and disappear defining a set of shifting rhythms and tensions. Ultimately, I want to hold multiple visual experiences in space compressed into a single moment.

"Tempo" (2017-2019) is a body of work in which the artist draws for 3 hour sessions, 18 to 20 posses layered on one paper, in this case the experience of the stillness and different positions of the model. 

"Through figure drawing sessions I realized I am not interested in capturing the appearance or stillness of the model. What I'm after in my work is to connect to and create dynamic movement in space. I started experimenting with the layering to explore how to create something of significance that becomes more than just what I see. I like to think that this ongoing project is about finding and playing with aesthetic possibilities, derived from marks that themselves derive from responding to the lines and energy of the body in various states of being, and pushing the work further to reach that which is what I'm after".
