I am very interested in dualities in my work. It is important to me that there is something sincere in them, that they communicate a sense of vulnerability as well as contradictory human emotions. They are almost always partially in shambles, barely seeming to hold themselves together, while still communicating a living presence. I am interested in finding a liminal and ripe space that the suggests that the surfaces of the works are both coming together and unraveling, or even decomposing. By creating works that have a mix of off-putting and seductive qualities, I hope to create an emotional response in which the viewer is drawn into the work only to be repelled and then drawn back in. My hope is that the viewers will find something new in themselves through each re-experiencing of the work.
