Our lives exist in the company of others, within places, through the elasticity of time. I see my experiences as numbers, coordinates, durational moments, all set in soft relation, tucked into matrices, and mapping the shape of my life.

KIN is my exploration of these unfolding connections through paint, drawing, installation and performance.
