Find out what’s behind my artwork
My compositions play with perspective by flattening depth and distorting forms to abolish and yet suggest distance at the same time. They impart a sense of movement and invite contemplation from multiple angles.
They merge interior and exterior into an atmosphere of time suspended by lending substance and form to the layers of memory that deposits in our minds, just as sediments shape the limestone cliffs of the Valley of the Dordogne River where I spent my childhood.
