My composition is inspired by conflict and metamorphosis between culture and nature, encapsulating the corruption of American ideals and historical myths, creating an ethos embodied by the transformative effects of impermanence. My compositions embody a moment, and place, of intense energetic alteration. I juxtapose past and current socio-critical strata by fabricating images that pertain to the high flux of current consumer media that inundates the American consciousness.
Using dibon, glass, fujiflex, lead, gun powder and video, each of my pieces can be seen as an act of treason against the idyllic philosophy contained in the traditional transcendent conceptions of art. I am a anthropologist focusing on the present human condition of passing off the mundane as the insane, and the insane as the mundane. Although I am influenced by the Orwellian construction of a post 9-11 society that bleeds technology, materialism and general world anxiety, my work is not topical in nature, but can be seen as a form of narrative, a visual, social and historical conversation about the truly personal internal struggle of the self, and its power in a world capable of being manipulated.
