Artist’s Statement revised.
My images are personal reflections, drawn impulsively like a nervous tick. Figures, objects, and strings of text all speak to existential quandaries---What does any of this mean and how should I feel about it? My process is additive and generally focused on observation, layering, obscuring and re-finding line. Through these steps, I work to make the subjects uniquely mine.
In this most recent series, I've created a set of objects as a way to think about nostalgia: the feeling of rediscovering an intense long-lost feeling, like finding a box of old journals inan attic. As soon as you recognize them, even before you read the first lines, you are already pulled in. I'm interested in this emotional deja vu, its way of assigning value to the past, because of it's relationship to what it means to be a person.
