| bio: |
The
three C’s of my work are conflict, contradictions
and childhood. Fairy tales and their frequently macabre
life lessons are always in the back of my bouncy brain.
Bubbling under the surface of my images are issues of identity,
labels, desire, restriction, loss, power, beauty, self-censorship,
taboo, duration, immediacy, repetition, ritual and the
search for meaning and compassion. These issues are both
contemporaneous and interminable. I am interested in exploring
that which is strange and yet familiar, what Freud describes
as “the uncanny”. |
| on
the importance of art: |
Art
is the grease on the wheels of society. It gives us
the ability to communicate outside of our comfort zone,
with layers of meaning. Art helps us speak to one another
via aesthetics, with nuance and agility. It fills the
spaces in between where we otherwise could not hope
to reach.
