Description
Sticks and Stones #1 stages a collision of forms: a dense black shape, a red circle pressing against its edge, and four diagonal red lines slicing across both elements. The composition feels caught in mid‑impact, where pressure, interruption, and movement converge. The stark contrast of red and black heightens the sense of force, turning minimalist geometry into a study of tension, fragmentation, and the moment when structures begin to break apart.

I create abstract works that explore how motion, contrast, and spatial tension shape emotional experience. Each piece begins with a simple gesture — a curve, a sweep, a directional force — and expands into a study of how form can alter the field around it. My interest lies in the internal architectures that govern perception: the quiet geometries beneath feeling, the invisible pressures that guide how we move through visual space.
Color functions as both structure and energy in my work. High‑contrast pairings generate friction, while gradients and arcs soften that friction into movement. These interactions reveal how opposing forces can coexist within a shared momentum, creating compositions that feel simultaneously stable and unsettled. I use abstraction not to obscure meaning, but to expose the underlying dynamics that representation often hides. At its core, my practice investigates how difference creates motion — how one form pulls against another, how one color reshapes its counterpart, how tension becomes a generative force
