Collection: Communication Between Forms I’ve been pushing myself to step away from the usual process, which was: draw a shape and fill in the shape. Instead I’ve been creating organic forms then deciding to activate the negative space as if the forms were communicating with each other. I think this stemmed from the idea that many viewers see “language” in my mark-making despite it being abstract. A background in graphic design and a love for typography were foundations in the creation of what I refer to as my “unique brushstroke”. So I had been considering how do I honor that in an abstract painting and given we are social distancing, I felt compelled to create work about communication.
