"What distinguishes you
from a water pump?"
Using my smartphone, I photograph objects from my surroundings and translate selected images into reduced pictorial spaces. Varied materials and painterly techniques generate flat and impasto textures, giving the images a tactile, bodily presence.
Parallel to my painting, I collect and preserve real objects from personal and social situations. Both bodies of work represent different ways of engaging with the physical and material world.
