My work unfolds within an environment where reading, the translation of ancient texts, painting, and boxing coexist.
I paint almost exclusively on paper, drawn to this medium both as a vehicle for the transmission of knowledge as well as a way of situating my practice within a living continuum. My work oscillates between rigor and carelessness, between drift and radicality, between vital gesture and abandonment. I embrace a position of instability and hesitation.
Influenced by my interest in biblical studies, I approach my paintings in the same way an exegete approaches a text: through layers. Through a process of superimposition and accumulation, each layer of paint is considered in relation to time. I seek to create a form of archaeology of the image, bringing underlying strata back to the surface.
Alongside my artistic practice, I explore biblical discourses on/narratives of origins and am currently working on a translation of the opening chapters of Genesis from Ancient Hebrew.
