"My work explores the connection between the artist and the model, the energy exchanged between the two. It's about emotional response, tactile, visceral, abstract, created with a limited color palette, leaving the brush strokes and drips raw and unrefined. It's as much a conversation as a picture, a snapshot of emotion, a thread running between the observer and the observed. Connective Tissue."

samara_sideI’d been work­ing with the Con­nec­tive Tis­sue idea for a year or so when I had a dream of play­ing a game of chess. I decided to try tap­ing off an old paint­ing in a grid, then cre­at­ing a new one on top, remov­ing the tape after the paint had dried. I found some­thing inter­est­ing, a sep­a­ra­tion of the viewer from the orig­i­nal, a wall. The grid broke the pic­ture plane and dis­turbed the space.
