"Bay Window"
Acrylic & mixed media on canvas
48x48in
2026
Based on an amazing picture by Marcin Zajac
This is now the biggest piece I've made so far. What I loved about Marcin's original photograph was how intense the details were in both the foreground and background, it felt like 2 or 3 pictures in one. I wanted to capture that effect in painting form.
As with much of my work, a cartography of texture spreads over the entire surface, with more structured line work added on top. No matter how timeless our building and monuments become, the wind, the tectonic tremors, entropy itself; all of it encompasses the ground we stand and build on.
The hardest part was adding the all the little bolts, which was a last minute decision that I'm very glad I made. It took a good amount of hours and it kinda hurt after awhile but it really adds to the bridge's sense of presence and scale.

"Fillmore & Duboce"
Acrylic and mixed media on canvas
36x48
2023
In this piece, I wanted to combine my current concepts around Victorian Architecture by adding a buttload of texture. The surface of the canvas is covered in a trembling and uneven landscape of molding gesso which represents the unstable geography of the Bay Area. The 3 essential shapes for building anything (a square, triangle, and circle) are all hiding within the textured surface. Using several acrylic mediums, the individual shapes and silhouettes of the Victorian houses are visible, but forced to coexist in an unstable terrain that blends them into a greater whole.
