Artist Statement

 

Spanning influences as wide as de Chirico to Annie Lennox, Ken Russell to No Wave, I attempt within installation and photography to canonize my queer community within the aesthetics of pop culture, art history, and my wildly erratic imagination. Concepts begin with the model in mind, as the set and adornment is often trying to evoke the epitome of their character. With an eye for Brechtian transparency, I enjoy layering messy and obvious brush strokes, letting the protagonists glance with a coy awareness of their performance.
