Statement

 

 

I create mixed media sculptures and installations that function as cumulative narratives that not only critique and intensify tragic sociopolitical realities, but also express a stewing repulsion of these realities. Apathetic comfort, marginalized rebellion, and the allegorical relationship between alchemy and the American Dream are examined, questioned, and lampooned with a combination of hyper-realistic figures, prop-like objects and scenic facades that position the viewer to construct meaning from their individual perspectives.
