works on paper

 
 

In my work I am interested in exploring physical and metaphorical boundaries, the interiority and exteriority of the things, through the use of the figure. Playing on the longstanding equation of nature with sexuality, recent paintings and animations depict sites of ecstasy and eroticism where body and landscape merge into a single entity. In a recent series of watercolors on paper, anthropomorphized landscapes depict intimate acts of dominance and submission. Islands of manicured lawn seem to penetrate themselves, dissolving the boundaries between "inside" and "outside”. ‘Open’ series and the ‘Dale’ series, paintings shaped like the silhouette of an open mouth, are examples of this duality. The viewer looks at something that is flat and infinitely deep at the same time, something that is huge and impersonal while also being an extremely intimate part of the body.
