Anatta is the Buddhist doctrine of “non self.” It states that no human, animal or object exists in a permanent, unchanging state or essence. We and everything around us are in a constant state of change - clinging to any sense of self (personality, life purpose, occupation, or any idea of what we should be) leads to suffering. In modern terms, think of the comparison trap. I created an abstract image of this concept, with flowing shapes and colors spiraling from the center “self,” evoking a sense of movement and change.

STATEMENT
My artwork explores the dissolution of material and figurative imagery, depicting the abstract essence and energy of life. I draw inspiration from my personal psychology. My mental health has given my life very difficult and also very beautiful moments. These are translated in my work through color, form as well as the physicality of paint. The repetitious layering of, taking away, and re-application of color underneath automatic scrawling, scratching and mark-making express my inner psyche – the way I think about myself and the world around me; This can be rough and harsh, and sometimes it is gentle and loving.
