An archive of perceptual surfaces, print-based processes produce binary visualities that explore concepts of specimen and image. The abstracted textures are conduits for slow looking, contemplation, and investigation, exploring phenomenological experience and materiality. Crumpled newsprint is inked up and transferred onto cartridge paper using an etching press, creating a paired newsprint plate and pressed print. Other images are created through varied levels of pressure and contact, distilling the enigmatic textures further.

Like lichen growing on a tree or the intricacies of an ornate frame, these smaller details I fixated on as a child offered an escape from the busyness of contemporary technology. The haptic visuality of the forms offer a personal and perceptual experience, with focus falling on a textural minutiae of the environment. With aesthetic relation to organic matter, the work forms metaphysical depictions of our interconnected environment. Tangible scale and resonating marks create a network of pieces that mirror and converse between one another, forming a speculative infinity that can never be entirely comprehended.
