Meet the Millers is a an oil series dedicated to a vlogging channel that streams the lives of five children and their parents. The work reflects on early formations of identity, contemporary forms of spectacle, and the online document as means of “saving” experience.

My paintings embrace of the intuitive and fluid qualities of oil paint. Here I think about meromictic lakes - bodies of water that stack themselves like layers of sheet cake, based on their salinity and chemical weight. This bizarre combination of vertical control and horizontal freedom occurs as a metaphor of painting. There is a responsive choreography between the directing hand, and the paint’s insistence to be free.
