Three by Three: Guest Artists in Focus

QUESTION 2.    How do digital distortions expand what you express about identity or embodiment?

  • ANSWER 2.     Digital distortion allows me to fracture and multiply the body beyond its physical limits. By glitching, layering, or splitting the figure, I explore identity as something fluid, interrupted, and constantly reconstructed. Distortion becomes a metaphor for the ways we’re seen, mis-seen, and reshaped by external forces.

QUESTION 3.  What guiding question ties your diverse mediums together?

  • ANSWER 3.     Across all mediums I return to a single question: How does the body hold, reveal, and resist the stories imposed upon it? Whether through sculpture, paint, performance, or video, I investigate how identity is formed between inner experience and external perception.

QUESTION 1.    What role does improvisation play in shaping the final surface of your painted abstractions?

  • ANSWER 1.     Improvisation is central to my painting process. I approach the canvas the way I approach performance—through movement, impulse, and embodied memory. The gestures often emerge before I consciously understand them, allowing the work to carry traces of emotional states that are raw and unfiltered. The final surface becomes a record of physical presence, almost like a choreographed accident, where intuition leads and meaning follows.
