Painting: The "sameness" of urban sprawl has created an insatiable craving in me for the authenticity of home. A nostalgic yearning may be seen in my paintings, as I use techniques to distress or imply history as a way of deliberately manufacturing a memory of my own making. Suspended organic shapes and symmetries found in the natural world and human anatomy create a weightless environment where familiar forms are seen in unfamiliar ways. Unexpected combinations of color and structural motifs interact as I choose a path of reminiscence, navigating between what I recall as having once existed and that which has been lost in the fog of our mass-produced, mass-manipulated "truth."
Video, Sculpture: My work is a direct response to the subversion of reality in the media of the moment. I explore the increasingly fine line between innocence and depravity. My use of childlike objects and nostalgic color palette stands in sharp contrast to the subject matter, exposing the hidden angst that may lie beneath the otherwise seductive surface.
