The use of concealing, discarding, and the repetition of images throughout my process allows me to combine several methods such as; painting, collage, chine colle', and screen-printing. These techniques enable me to work intuitively in multiple facets by distressing, excavating, and re-working the surface repeatedly until I reach a visual resolution. Through this process, I am able to control the medium by manipulating the form, shape, and color while attaining a textured surface emblematic of tattered, torn and discarded wallpaper, which reveals an unspecified narrative beneath the surface.
