PORTAL TILES
A painting series introducing a disorienting representation of space and surface. Merging figurative and
abstract painting, the series focuses on trompe l'oeil reliefs, unidentified entities or a cryptic instruction
manual encased in a fantastic, soft shaped frame. Since the image is abstract and yet relies on an
illusion of depth, the painting withholds a sense of coherent understanding on a sensory level. Using
recurring essential forms, the paintings create serene settings, resembling drawings traced with a finger
on a frozen window.
