Harris often abstracts the human form through the use of various mediums. He enjoys working intuitively and without a predetermined course as an exercise of exploring and extracting ideas within the subconscious. He approaches each painting as a puzzle that can be solved by keeping an open line of communication between the work and himself. In this reactive relationship, Harris is able to create work that defines itself rather than conform to any one narrative.
