Collab with Matthew Heller #4
This piece is around 9 X 13 inches and hangs vertically. I had so much fun choosing which way I was going with the coloring on this and when I found the iridescent mirrored glass for the gem I knew exactly where it was going. I think the glass of this piece really speaks for itself.

Work Statement:
I tend to overthink a lot in everyday life, and I have tried to avoid that with my recent art. My goal is to simply make, feel, intuit, without thinking or judging too much. While I obviously can't eliminate thinking entirely, I try to build systems that let me quickly get into flow and create.
I work primarily in a digital space. I make quick thumbnail sketches and recreate them with Adobe Illustrator, trying to produce one of a kind compositions that emphasize symmetry, lines, and "perfect" forms. I'm currently exploring the endless potential of splitting a simple rectangle into a multitude of other shapes.
Even before Katy and I began to collaborate, I thought of these rectangles as windows or portals. While I haven't quite figured out what's on the other side, it has been really exciting to see Katy's skill in working with glass to bring these digital compositions into the real world.
