Oil Painting Series
Senior Thesis, 2019
This set of works explore the ideas, paradoxes and states of aloneness and togetherness using imagery of hands as my subject. Hands exist in pairs but also function separately. My work is engaged in representing both the joining and the inherent separate natures of the two. I am interested in how hands simultaneously function as one unit yet are aware of their isolation and can be brought together by that mutual aloneness.

Multi-Titled
Over the course of thirteen weeks, I approached the same canvas with a different eye for each stages. My task each week was to completely obliterate the the image that came before, and transform the canvas into something it has never been before. In a sense, each week’s stage can also be called a “finished” piece of work, while the final product is both a final piece as well as visual representation of the layers of finished works that have been covered or concealed by the next stage.
