ARTIST STATEMENT
My artwork is a critical visual examination of contemporary culture. It is how I investigate material greed and consumption, as well as the ways in which power is exchanged between individuals in society. In my work, I explore good and evil, examining moments and situations in which that dichotomy collapses. I map a place where characters have the potential to be both the ‘goodie’ and the ‘baddie’, at times simultaneously. These concerns, along with a spare aesthetic, and select iconography, have been present from my earliest through my most current artworks.
