What is it like to paint pictures of basketball players as a person who has zero interest in sports? Painting the subject without any judgment nor knowledge, the act of painting becomes an observation of face features and their unique characters.
12 UNITS / 2014
I live in a 12 unit apartment complex. I've lived in many apartments but this one is by far the most unique because no one ever says hi to each other in this building. I met almost everyone via mail and packages out by the mailbox. I hardly know these people, yet live very closely, so I started to observe my neighbors. This is a semi-fictional voyeuristic observation of apartment tenants living in San Francisco. Self-published, 28 pages, edition of 200.
SLOWLY REWIND (selected images) / 2014
My work often portrays strangers and the imaginary relationship I have with them. This ongoing portrait series is a reinterpreted image of found portraits. Incorporating my own story and memories into each character, it creates a relationship and conveys familiarity to the unknown.
THE SECRET KNOTS / 2011
