My work is built through a structured system in which a single act generates multiple related outcomes. Using bubble wrap as both surface and matrix, images are constructed, translated, and transformed across distinct material states.

Injection
Images are created by injecting acrylic paint into the individual cells of bubble wrap, building a surface through thousands of discrete units. The resulting image appears fixed and legible, yet remains dependent on the underlying structure of the material.

Impression
As paint accumulates behind the surface during the injection process, it forms a second image that is revealed through separation. This work exists as both a record and a transformation of the original, shifting the image’s clarity and structure.

Reflection
A third related work is generated through the marking process used during the creation of the Injection. Produced concurrently rather than separately, it forms a reversed and mediated version of the image that reflects back on its source.

Artifact / Post-Impression
In certain works, the injected surface is physically compressed by driving over it with a mobility scooter. The pressure transfers paint onto canvas while collapsing the bubble structure beneath it. The compressed surface left behind becomes an artifact, while the transferred works form a series of post-impressions. Each is unique, produced through direct contact rather than repetition, resulting in images that vary in structure, density, and form.
