On Influence...
I’ve started calling my evolving art style Influencism. I think about my practice as a way of influencing how a space is felt, not just how it looks. I’m interested in how painting, projection, and moving image can carry memory and presence into an environment, quietly shaping its atmosphere over time.
It feels similar to how light through a window or a familiar sound can shift your awareness of a room without demanding attention. I’m drawn to the idea that a painting, projection, or moving image can carry human presence—that it can subtly alter a space existing within it, holding memory in place and allowing it to unfold.
