Artist Statement:
I work with grassello al fresco, layering and carving until something catches and opens into its own logic—toward the genius loci of boats, barns, ruins, mountains. I begin with a loose idea, but the real work is following what shows up through gesture, accident, and a kind of overactive seeing. Forms surface, half-found, half-made, and I follow them—carving or catching an edge in gold—until they hold.
