I'm interested in the simultaneous 2D and 3D qualities of polyhedra forms: when photographed, the shapes become flattened like line drawings, points of connection that stretch and change along with the camera's vantage. I've made woodcuts, tattoos, and collages that celebrate this shifting, flattening phenomenon. These paintings begin from this premise and depart by getting close and paying attention — indicating the subtle dimensionality and reflected light of the round stock material within these flattened two dimensional views, especially the compositions that are magnified and cropped. 

I’ve continued to develop this work by exploring what happens as the purity of geometry is represented alongside the particular (and always imperfect) shapes of flesh bodies. Does a stellated tetrahedron alongside an extended, reaching hand highlight the symmetry and order of its features, or highlight its human-ness? When a perfectly symmetrical hexahedron is set atop human shoulders in place of where a head would be, are we pointed to hypothetical ideals or actualized realities?
