The beginning of grad school has been a whirlwind. I’ve been doing lots of experimenting and play trying to find my “why” while learning to be comfortable with not having all the answers yet. There’s certainly a push and pull between making work that’s supposed to be play and realizing that play has become work and man can it be frustrating at times.

“Field Journal” is part of that exploration. Through layers of painting, printmaking, and collage, I’ve been investigating the relationship between material and the ways imagery transforms through different processes as it accumulates.
