Architectural Geometric Hooked and Painted Art
ARTIST STATEMENT
Architecture has always fascinated me. Time and again I have found myself revisiting construction sites, transfixed by the process of what was once an indeterminate idea flourishing into a fully formed building.
This fascination has led me to explore the interaction between architecture and geometry through my work. I blend line and shape to artistically form new worlds: Lines become structural elements of the building process. Shapes drawn from observations morph into abstract works.
Recent explorations have led to the start of portraits containing geometric or architectural elements. And while some pieces are stripped down to a few basic materials, others incorporate paint for a layered effect.
Architecture in all forms constantly surrounds us, defining how we interact with the world and with each other. Exploring it leads me to question what architecture means to us, how we interpret it, how it affects the way we live and the balance between its functionality and form.
