Process & Experimentation
Exploring new materials and processes is central to my creative practice. Working outside familiar techniques opens space for curiosity, play, and discovery. Unexpected textures and happy accidents often become part of larger work.
Alcohol Ink Study on Transparent Film
Experimenting with alcohol ink and a straw to blow the ink across transparent film. Each breath creates unexpected organic patterns and movements. A playful exploration of chance, control, and what emerges when you let the material guide the process.
Painted Book Pages
Transforming discarded books into art journals. I paint, collage, and draw across the pages, layering acrylic, ink, and found materials. Working on recycled book pages gives me freedom to experiment intuitively without the pressure of a blank canvas. The printed words and existing textures become part of the composition.
Thread Drawing on Dissolvable Fabric
Using a vintage Morse Fotomatic IV sewing machine as a drawing tool, I stitch freely across dissolvable fabric. The thread becomes line, moving intuitively across the surface. As the fabric dissolves, what remains is pure thread. An expressive drawing created through the rhythm and meditation of stitching.
