Yellow Clouds of High Sound, 2025


 In these abstract paintings, I layer acrylic, edible clay, and oil pastel onto canvas, allowing each medium to speak with its own voice. Edible clay, often taken into the body as sustenance, becomes here a ground for reflection — a reminder that the earth itself is present in these abstract worlds. Acrylic provides immediacy and rhythm; oil pastel offers intimacy through touch. The infantile marks are unstructured dialogues between my 3-year-old daughter and I. They are, in fact, splices of time. 

The canvases are sometimes joined, sometimes frayed, parts unravelling like histories that resist being neatly contained. These surfaces bear traces of construction and erosion, presence and conjured absences. They resonate with our lived experiences. 

I am drawn to abstraction not to conceal, but to reveal — to let color, texture, and fracture hold emotions that words cannot. Each work is both a gesture and a memory: a fragile permanence where earth, hand, and time converge in intimate dialogue.
