I think of my main body of work as an Allegory of Life and Death told in an unconventional and deliberately obfuscated way. Each individual work is a moment of a vague narrative, that appeals to different, and hopefully specific, aspects of what it is to exist as a human.

I feel that my work is a desperate reminder of the reality of nature. In both the idea that art can be valid on its own terms, in the way nature itself is valid, as well as in the reminder of the madness and complexity of the human experience.

I want to sensitize my viewers to the subtlety and intentionality of Art making; From the smallest visual decisions and materials, to the conceptual identity of the work. And in that process, sensitize my viewers to see beauty. Beauty in the commonplace and the ugly. To see if I can make people appreciate, as I do, the vast and intricate world of information that is only revealed through critical examination.

I am looking to shock people out of themselves with the the beauty and sincerity of my work, then using these frameworks, I feel that I can create opportunity to express these certain qualities of life.
