About this artwork
This work examines the aesthetic structure of a grid patterns and their potential to emerge within natural forms.
The process begins by folding a blank linen surface into a series of fixed undulations, followed by the application of many 'wet-on-wet' paint pours over the form. Gravity directs the paint from the elevated areas to the lower areas. After drying, this procedure is repeated in additional predetermined directions. The surface is then… flattened and mounted onto a frame.
The idea is only complete when the membrane is unraveled and the results are revealed stretched -out on the 2D picture plane. This creates the human visual experience, serving as a metaphor for how we perceive the world.

« Membrane Art is a doorway to endless possibilities. It’s heavily dependent upon the geometric surface which underpins it, and until it's unraveled, we are blind to all possible outcomes. »
My father is profoundly deaf, and my mother is deaf and blind. Although I am able-bodied and possess painting and drawing skills, I make an artistic choice not to execute my art conventionally. I produce my art with limited visual input to achieve my artistic objectives. Painting on curved structures enables me to do this. It is a blind process that enables me to explore chance outcomes and discover complete aesthetic images. I learn from these experiences and am obligated to accept outcomes that may not be aesthetically correct, but I must tolerate them. It is who I am, and it is the only way I feel authentic to my upbringing. It reflects my interactions with the world.
This body of work, which explores the enigmatic boundary between the present and the future, from the tension inherent in a curved surface to the tranquillity of a flat plane, it invites us on a transformative, non-linear journey, encouraging deeper contemplation and meditation on our observations.
