Actant

An actant is that which acts, that which exerts force or intent. An actant creates action. The minerals in your phone, the carrot you ate for lunch, the color of the carrot — all exert force upon the world. A human body, too, is an actant, or more precisely, a conglomeration of interdependent actants.

This series of paintings explores pigment, color, and flowers as actants — forces that act upon and reshape the world just as a mineral, a carrot, or a human body does.
