Statement
My studio practice tends to feature text based work and
pseudo as well as traditional portraiture that revolves around multiple integrated narratives
extracted from public and private spheres that showcase the connection
and disconnect between public and private to highlight the dichotomy of the
importance and lack of importance of the individual, as well as originality, authorship and ownership ideals. I focus on exploring themes of time, language and loss. I draw from artists such as Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Rosemarie Trockel, On Kawara, Robert Rauschenberg, Jacques Louis David, Mel Bochner, Valeska Soares, Lawrence Weiner, Jenny Holzer, and Maurizio Catalan.
