My work examines what remains after structure begins to break down. Influenced by brutalist architecture, natural erosion, and the visual language of avant-garde fashion, I create textured mixed media paintings that exist somewhere between surface, garment, and architectural fragment.

Fabric and vintage pattern paper are embedded beneath layers of plaster, joint compound, latex, sand, and acrylic paint. These materials are covered, exposed, and partially obscured, allowing traces of their original purpose to remain visible. The process reflects my interest in clothing as both construction and concealment, and in the ways identity, memory, and experience become layered over time.

Working intuitively, I allow each surface to develop through accumulation, pressure, and natural drying. A restrained palette of black, grey, beige, off-white, and deep brown places emphasis on texture, shadow, and material presence. Cracks, irregularities, and exposed fragments are not corrected, but treated as records of the work’s formation.

The paintings consider endurance rather than destruction. Concrete, fabric, earth, and the human body all carry evidence of what they have survived. Through surfaces that appear eroded, buried, or reconstructed, I explore the quiet persistence of what cannot be fully erased. In a culture defined by speed and visual excess, the work offers a slower encounter with material, memory, and form.
