Abstract

Through an approach to painting that is intuitive and speculative, I celebrate a post-humanist understanding of natural phenomena. In this perspective, painting for me is a process of visualizing and imagining complex material qualities in relation with the intention to ‘bring to life’ sympoietic assemblages in which art-historical, botanical, mineral, and animal forms merge and fragment. Through such a slow process of accretion, strange compositions compress into the space of my paintings to create a synchrony of pictorial fossils. These entanglements serve to disturb our anthropocentric understanding of natural phenomena, proposing instead a post-humanist vision of a world in constant metamorphosis where various temporal, spatial and aesthetic dimensions intersect.
