Statement
My main goal as an artist is exploration and play, discovering through doing, feeling my way through the dark using the physical tools I find and my life experiences as guides. I want my work to evoke feelings in myself - while creating and once completed - and in viewers.
I’m consistently inspired by weird fiction and scifi/horror media - the Cthulhu mythos, Twin Peaks, Stephen King’s works, Alice in Wonderland, etc. And the tie that binds them is the interplay of the supernatural with the perception of “madness.”
As someone who has anxiety issues and is queer, the definition of “mad” is of great interest and importance to me. The history and evolution of it, its bond with perception, and fictionalized versions of it.
