Artist Statement: I work in the space between gesture and memory, where impressions—both literal and felt—take form under the press. My prints begin with something fleeting: a breath in solitude, a sweep of the hand, a glimmer of beauty glimpsed in the quiet folds of daily life.
The 'Brushstrokes' series shares this impulse but moves through a language of concealment. Luminous fields of color and texture are built in layered monotypes, then purposefully veiled beneath a single-color linocut overlay. Carved gestures slice through the surface, revealing only fragments of what lies beneath. In this tension between obscuring and revealing, I find the persistence of beauty—how it presses through the haze of the ordinary. For me, "Pressing Matters” speaks to both the physical force that bonds pigment to paper and the metaphorical weight of preserving what might otherwise dissolve. Each print becomes a record of contact, where fleeting sensations are made tangible and what is momentary is pressed into permanence.
