UN-PACK EXPRESSION THROUGH MATERIALITY.
My practice consists of expressing emotions through imagery and materiality, pent-up feelings using symbolism as such dog figures which have often seen as faithful, loyal animals. Use of facial imagery and materiality to convey depth within the works capturing feelings, the mix media works range from oil on wood to pencil on paper coated in wax encaustic. The contrast between materials channel the highs and lows that one can experience. These materials have the power to capture, moments and people within the works in hopes it resonates.
