the images i create are composed out of the detritus of our collective memory of the last hundred years…of the joy, pain, ruin, discontent, fear, and hope we all carry with us. i construct these digital composites using elements at once familiar and dreamlike to arrive at a state that feels half-glimpsed, half-remembered.
beauty and desire are a common thread in my work; as is the keenly felt longing for emotional connection. the need to feel that we belong to something or someone is primal, and yet we often live lives apart and disconnected. this tension is one I find myself drawn to explore frequently. most of my work is imbued with this longing.
i work in this medium because i need a place to explore, explain and expand on how i experience life… as an overwhelming wave of sensory input, external and internal, dissonance and harmony, thrash and purity… filtered, dismembered, remembered and spun into a unique pastiche by our own souls. in all of my work i cross and blur those artificial boundaries we build between waking and dreaming, thought and emotion, sensuality and intellect. somewhere there on that continuum is the sweet spot, balanced precariously, but still attainable.
