ARTIST STATEMENT

My work is an exploration and expression of emotion, spirituality, and the human condition. I intentionally work in a variety of styles, rejecting rigid notions of cohesion while maintaining a distinct point of view. My paintings are unified by an emphasis on texture, thick paint, expressive abstraction, vibrant color, written words, bold blacks, layered underpaintings, and simplified human forms. I often use unconventional techniques and tools to paint and draw, and repeat specific shapes and imagery in my work.

As with my photography, I am drawn to nature as a subject, depict obscured faces, and enjoy the extremes of moody monochromatic visuals, and eye-catching color. Many of my pieces are feminist in nature, tackling issues of oppression and more. I sign my work 'Dagu'—the name I called myself as a child—as a reference to my intuitive and authentic creative process, and as a reminder of the value of courageous childlike exploration.

ARTIST STATEMENT COT'D

As a photographer I am interested in lived-in settings, and utilizing foreground elements, shadows, lines, and a subject's gaze to make evocative, sometimes haunting art. As with my paintings, much of my work is an exploration and expression of the human experience, and my connection to the natural world. I am drawn to emotional and naturalistic portraiture, as well as street photography. An avid traveler and nature lover, I often photograph people, animals, and places from my travels, shooting exclusively using natural light.

My work is a combination of directed image creation and photographing candid moments. This blend of controlled art making with capturing the unplanned allows me to remain a careful observer in close connection with my instincts. I prefer to shoot using 35mm black-and-white film. At times I shoot digitally, sometimes presenting my photographs completely unedited, and other times employing digital manipulation to create a vintage, saturnine, even surrealist feel.
