Through my practice I seek to use the human form as a means through which to process the strangeness and absurdity of the collective human experience- taking a closer look at elements of morality, memory, loss of identity, feminism and the domestic space. I explore the edges of the shared consciousness and mental health through distortions and surreal transformations of my subjects in the hopes of achieving emotional resonance and above all encourage self reflection. I work primarily with oil paints, (as well as prints and performance videos) and rely heavily upon text based works as a foundation for my images. I believe the recollection, resurfacing and redesign of these narratives- both external and internal- help us make sense of where we are as a society, as individuals now.
