This series examines my personal negotiations between exposure and concealment. I constantly struggle to balance the vulnerability of putting my work into the world with the intimacy and solitude of my practice. 

Each painting in this series explores my fascination with familiar objects and the stories they hold. Symbols of the human hand at work and the intricate web of design and desire that connects us all. Even without figures, for me, these paintings live in the space between still life and portrait. The arranged objects are an invitation to imagine the lives of the people who created and collected them.
