Artists Statement

Making art is a cathartic experience; it is a purging of the artist’s senses that results in the viewer being affected viscerally and intellectually. My work contains found objects, organic materials, painted, and illustrated representations. My artwork takes a critical view of social, political and cultural issues. Some of the pieces exploit cultural beliefs and the narratives that define those beliefs in order to reposition and question the viewer’s interpretation of truth.

My work compels the viewer to examine alternative perspectives of the ambiguous space between truth and reality. Intersubjective interpretations of art create stubborn enigmas that are experienced by those who might try to categorize or fix meaning. My art attempts to deconstruct those ideologies by presenting alternative perspectives on history, politics, and religion. The questioning of history as an institutionalized construct is embedded in the art.
