My work is fundamentally rooted in drawing, which I understand as a synesthetic fusion between visual perception and tactile, embodied gesture. Primarily using charcoal, ink, oil and monotype, I work in a rhythm of building and erasing marks, on both an intimate and architectural scale. As a violinist, I am drawn to a rich correlation between the vibration and tension of strings and the language of line and tone. Both drawing and musical improvisation necessitate setting the mental and physical parameters for a direct response to frequency and rhythm which bypasses conscious control. Working with film and sound installation gives space for these languages to coalesce.
