“The surfaces are constructed through processes of accumulation and evaporation. Layers of oil, limestone, copper, mica, and emulsion are built up and allowed to fracture under internal tension.  This process forms slabs that evoke both microcosmic and macrocosmic structures, such as tectonic plates, cellular topographies, and celestial spaces.” – As Above, So Below Statement

“Material process is central to the work. The cracking of surfaces, the pooling of pigment, and the settling of particulate matter parallel systems of erosion, pressure, and renewal. These reactions unfold slowly and unpredictably, embedding a sense of time into the work itself. The paintings operate as records of transformation—sites where material destabilization produces unexpected coherence.” – As Above, So Below Statement

“Together, the works form a constellation of surfaces shaped by pressure, time, and contingency. They ask the viewer to consider painting not as image alone, but as matter in flux—where collapse and coherence remain inseparable.” – As Above, So Below Statement
