I can trace a direct line of formal and emotional continuity between “Dissection: Hope”, which I made in 2008 while on student exchange in Nantes (France), to my newest works that I create today. This includes the evolution of visual composition, color choice, use of geometry, the specific idea of the depicted people’s gaze, etc.

 

I specifically began experimenting with the production of large-scale paintings in this time; both using multiple canvases for one image, and a single, large-scale canvas.
