Open Skate Series (2025 - present)

Balancing observation with abstraction, the Open Skate series explores the shared space of the roller rink as a site of movement, rhythm, and connection.

Drawings

Skaters trace looping paths that echo larger patterns of rotation, suggesting parallels between human motion and the cyclical systems that structure the natural world.

Night Swimming Series (2020 - 2024)

Night Swimming examines how ordinary spaces when shaped by memory and imagination can become extraordinary, reflecting a fluid relationship between place, perception and experience.

High Noon II Series (2018 - 2019)

High Noon II captures a moment of heightened stillness and intensity, where light flattens space and amplifies color to the edge of abstraction. Perception shifts under the pressure of heat and brightness.

High Noon Series (2016 - 2017)

Dramatic shadows rhythmically divide bright, almost neon building facades and inspire a novel perspective on everyday imagery we often observe passively.
