My work
My work is primarily based on automatism of the psyche. Automatism refers to the performance of actions without conscious thought or premeditated actions, especially through the use of mechanical techniques or subconscious associations. Through this process I explore spaces of the mind that reflect a gestural automatism. Through this process I try to build spaces in my work that reflect landscapes of the mind.
In some works I explore simply painting or work figuratively but also executed through a mental automatism. This is a simple process but only possible if there is a contemplation of a very momentary space and time.
From this process the painting tools appeared, these are accessories that I make to create lines that overlap with textures, undulations. Part of this series is comprised of drawings of possible tools that may be built, but exist as plans for tools that explore my identity as a woman and my childhood. Many do not function to paint with but act to enable or disable the possibilities of the body. In this sense I am exploring suggestions of spaces that are extensions (or corruptions) of the body and the mind.
