How do shapes inform us of the creation of bodies and how do we view the perception of how shape creates form ?  I strive to find the translation between these two as it helps us navigate the space these two exist in.  Exploring the concept through composition and refinined through shape becoming form. Along with this the narrative of my work is charged by abusive traits and chacteristics with the main figure entangled with conflict or abusive actions. 

    With my work providing a slow read of the human form and is ambiguously intertwined with the foreground. As the figure is mixed and intertwined with itself and the ground. Allowing for a push and pull effect with my pieces where the viewer has to question whether the background or the figurative shapes are more important.

    So when it come to the figure fighting with the background for attention I use it as a way for the viewer to question the intent of my placement. As the forms are made of intuitive brush strokes creating this texture of translucent and opaqueness throughout the piece. Especially when it comes to the placement of the colors in the piece as well. Throughout the pieces with the exception of the neon one I carried all of the colors from the previous colors throughout the piece. I found that the colorful pallets helped tone down some of the more violent charged aspects of the work especially with Touch and Reach.  I feel like this is an approach I would like to keep in my work.  As it helps me dissect and paint the piece as it lays a format for what I envision it to be .
