My work investigates the relationship between sensation and perception through abstract contour drawings in acrylic or ink. Each line emerges from a tactile impulse—gesture, memory, or fleeting observation—while resisting narrative resolution. The drawings often depict human figures or spaces, yet remain deliberately fragmented, challenging the viewer’s urge to organize and make sense of them.
Grounded in abstraction, the work reflects a tension between raw sensation and the cognitive act of perception. Influenced by the idea that perception is “an organized response to the total of something,” I explore how we seek unity among disparate parts. The layered, overlapping lines resist that unity, instead presenting visual accumulations—traces of presence, interruption, and unresolved form.
Through continuity and disruption in line and rhythm, I invite sustained looking. The viewer is asked to oscillate between recognizing forms and embracing ambiguity, lingering in the complexity of visual experience rather than reaching closure.
