My work explores the relationship between postmodern discourse and omnivore ethics. With influences such as Kafka and Frida Kahlo, new tensions are created from both explicit and implicit dialogues.

Ever since I was a pre-adolescent I have been fascinated by the traditional understanding of meaning. What starts out as yearning soon becomes corroded into a dialectic of temptation, leaving only a sense of failing and the inevitability of a new understanding.

As subtle derivatives become distorted through diligent and critical practice, the viewer is left with a tribute to the inaccuracies of our condition.
