Monumental creatrixes, undulating linework and virile brushstrokes–my drawings and paintings are a maze of psycho-sexual torment which scream both a gluttonous lust for life and the harrowing awareness of mortality. Contorting my own body into a mirror for existential dread, I place myself among beer cans, hooker call cards, and other residue left behind by attempts to escape the pain of mortal isolation. Through oxymoronic juxtapositions of materials and painting styles, I address the irony associated with inescapable mortality and how it tears away the curtain of denial and escapism, exposing the grotesque yet beautiful reality of being a human.
