Pseudo-Countenance

2020
Plastic sheet, silkscreen, styrofoam heads, vacuum formed.
20in x 18in
Originally inspired by a museum exhibition on physiognomy, I silkscreened my
own distorted images onto plastic and then vacuum formed heads underneath.
This creates a weird allusion of several faces and expressions that I found
interesting.

Cosmic Fluidity

2019
36in x 25in
Plaster bandages, collage, and steel tubing
This piece was created from casting me and two of my friends body parts (one cis
male, one cis female). The idea behind it was to connect these differing body
parts to form some sort of body that I felt I could relate to and represent the
fluidity I feel surrounding my own.

Artist Statement

Influenced by surrealist artists and their practices, lately I have been creating
automated sculptures using found materials and also work in collage, photography and printmaking . My sculptures are gateways/portals/entrances into alternative realities, as I question the current reality that surrounds me. The interactive elements of my works enables the audience to engage in a means of escapism; a path away from the real world for a short amount of time, and into one I have curated for them. I would consider myself a multimedia artist that has made works ranging from sculpture, collage, photography, and printmaking. Continuous themes in my art, past and present, focus on the body/my body and my relationship to it, violence/chaos, and sex/lust, the unreal made real, and the ability to be immersed into my own world that is different from our own. My work exists and manifests as a language of the subconscious, piercing the veil between reality and our more primitive.
