Layered Plexiglas Paintings
My second body of work marks a move away from portraiture toward abstraction. While the subject matter changed, the underlying ideas remained the same: memory, perception, concealment, and transformation.
Working on transparent Plexiglas, I build paintings through successive layers of paint. Some works are created on multiple surfaces, while others are painted on both sides of the same sheet, allowing colour and texture to interact through depth rather than simply across a flat surface.
Rather than describing a specific place or narrative, these paintings evolve through the process of painting itself. Earlier marks remain visible beneath later decisions, creating surfaces that suggest memory—continually altered, partially concealed, yet never completely erased.
Although abstract in appearance, the works invite viewers to construct their own meanings through colour, rhythm, transparency, and the experience of sustained looking.
Interventions on Found Images
My most recent work transforms discarded framed pictures and prints found in thrift stores into new painted objects.
Rather than treating the original image as something to preserve or erase completely, I work in dialogue with it. Layers of house paint obscure, reveal, and reinterpret fragments of the existing picture while the original frame is repainted as an integral part of the finished work. The frame is not simply a presentation device but part of the artwork itself.
These small assemblages explore ideas of memory, loss, renewal, and transformation. Each retains traces of its previous history while becoming something entirely new. By reimagining overlooked objects, the work asks viewers to consider how meaning survives through change and how the familiar can be experienced in unexpected ways.
