I create work to document my interactions and feelings related to family, fears, gender, mortality, relationships, and other experiences virtually universally felt by humans but in individual unique ways. Through such works I explore a kind of person allegory, making my own language of images based on my unique experiences. A piece might represent a memory, thought, or emotion.
I could not see these objects displayed in a traditional white box because they are meant to be coloured by their surrounding and with in a nostalgic context. Therefore I created an artificial domestic space, referencing the intimacy of a family home.
Though these pieces are not seen as one work of art, together they create something larger that the individual works. As a whole they are dense and at time chaotic, to experience the individual piece the viewer has to approach and view it from an intimate point of view. Different mediums, sizes, textures, and framing methods add to the complexity of the over all multifaceted effect.
