This body of work explores the dual nature of the natural world—its capacity for both violent upheaval and quiet stillness. Textured surfaces composed of thick oil paint evoke the fury of landslides, crashing waves, and torrential rain. These layers are of paint — often with months passing between their applications — mirror the raw physicality of the earth in flux. Each mark captures the tension between force and form, serving as a record of nature’s relentless transformation, but also seeing human creativity as an extension of it.

At the core of the work is an impulse to channel nature’s fury—not to contain it, but to exercise a creative force from within it. This energy becomes generative rather than destructive, giving shape to a tactile, evolving language. Alongside this elemental intensity, the paintings offer moments of serenity: veils of suspended pigment settle like mist, and gestures of the artist’s hand trace paths across the surface.

Through a rhythm of applying, layering, and obscuring, the work reflects not only the physical landscape, but also the artist’s emotional terrain shaped by the interplay of external forces and inner stillness.
