“I’m inspired by the process of reduction, paring down objects to their essential formâ€.
“The idea of reduction stems from my appreciation of Japanese woodblock prints, their muted tonalities and restrained compositions.â€
“I see the process of reduction being less about abstraction and more about creating clarity and harmony between the essential formal elements: shape, colour, and composition. The negative space is really important in my images. It accentuates the subjects within the space and their relationship with one another. By pairing down the compositional elements, the aesthetic experience is more immediate and direct.â€
