Other Side of Black

I make black reflective paintings and sculptures that in turn have the ability to “see” or possess vision by reflecting the environment around it. I exhibit and use my paintings as a Claude Glass, an 18th century black looking glass that helped painters simplify colors, shapes and tones. My paintings are a way to re-see the surrounding environments and encourage viewers to look from the black space to ultimately see their surroundings through a different lens. I refer to this body of work as The Other Side of Black. Through my studio practice and interest in material studies, I have developed a way of pouring this enamel latex paint to form a highly reflective surface.
