My paintings involve a reduced optical surface based on a material form of thought. I employ fundamental constructive signs that suggest variable levels of ambiguity. This may result in a paradox of presence and absence that further admits a surface that both reflects and absorbs light. My work intends to test the limits of the visual and the non-visual in the process of seeing as it defies meaning through description.
