Artist Statement

 

I enjoy exploring themes through photography and animation. 

 

My work deals with human interactions related to identity and media.  Cindy Sherman is an enormous inspiration in my work.  I am interested in what makes someone who they are and who they choose to perform to be that day.  The masks people wear and create identities and/or personas from is what my works examines. 

 

I like to observe people in their everyday lives.  The way they act and react is remarkable.  Witnessing a viewer looking at my work while observing my reflections on reality creates a multilayered identity in itself.  Populaces consuming images of who they may or may not be is intriguing.  I am interested in consumption by the economy of desire and how strong the desire remains so resilient.

 

I believe technology and media manipulate a vast portion of our craving for the endless black hole of consumption.  I am also interested in how technology and human interaction can change ones experience with social situations.  Where people draw their own line regarding moral positions is also intriguing to investigate.
