Biography
My paintings explore the relationship between imagination and reality and critique the emphasis in today’s society of appearance over essence. The use of fashion as inspiration is an act of remaking and revising the objects and symbols celebrated by our society; it is a way to emphasize the transformation and metamorphosis of the era we live in. Playing with traditional techniques and themes, and the contrast of collaged materials, resins, and the chemical adhesion of pigment to cloth, the physical nature of the textile becomes a hybrid form of chemical imbalance that parallels our development of foundation-altering technologies—such as nanorobotics and artificial life—and their imminent implications for the fabric of human consciousness.
