As a process-driven artist, I am invested in painting as a physical act of thinking and in mark-making as a living action. By exploring ideas of struggle and survival, of vulnerability and the stubbornness necessary to persist, including through research in and on Bosnia and Herzegovina that began in 2017, this work is intended as a mechanism to address the most difficult, most human of questions and concerns, a processing through paint and image in a back and forth negotiation to speak to what we carry and hold just under the skin.
