Early Paintings (2001–2007)
These early paintings mark the foundation of my practice. Working through repetition, color, and spatial tension, I treated the canvas as a site where the body engages duration, resistance, and uncertainty. The surfaces record a physical process of layering, erasing, and re-marking — a manual feedback loop in which intention repeatedly encounters accident and loss of control.
Influenced by artists such as Jackson Pollock, I approached art-making as an embodied act rather than the production of a finished object. Gesture functioned less as expression than as evidence of presence within a process that could not be fully mastered.
Though rooted in abstraction, these works already anticipate questions that continue to shape my practice today: how repetition becomes system, how systems exceed the individual, and how meaning remains fragile when grounded in finite, bodily experience. Long before my work expanded into kinetics, data, and machine-driven processes, these paintings staged an early commitment to working within uncertainty rather than resolving it.
