Objects in the world are alive - we make them alive with our constant interaction with them. Like food in still-life paintings that depict decay, all objects have a life. My work depicts that movement and process of coming and becoming. I am interested in exploring how habitual experience and action can be depicted visually through painting, investigating the temporal routines and repetitious conditions in our day-to-day. These moments of suspended motion are mobilized through painting the memory and experience of interactions with an object as it relates to the space or scenario it is set against.
