Statement

Untitled, 2021-2022 is a painting that includes canvas which has been cut and sewn numerous times in an act of resilience and to create reliefs and openings in the canvas.  These reliefs and openings work with the natural lighting of the environment to create shadows and alternate spaces while maintaining their physicality.
