Artist Statement

Working primarily from sourced reproductions of artwork by historical figures - such as Gerard David, Albrecht Dürer, and Ambrosius Bosschaert, among others - I render compositions that reveal portions of these artists’ work. By altering these masterworks through cutting and cropping digital images, or tearing physical print-outs, I am able to both alter the meaning of the original artwork and abstract its depiction.

As this series continues I better understand its potential for expansion as I accumulate references and hone my material processes.
