My work explores the transitory nature of self-perception, memory, and emotion. Through collage, I seek to simulate and re-evaluate pivotal moments in my life.
Working with self generated photos and drawings as well as appropriated materials, I aim to digest the fleeting moments of extreme emotion and physical sensation that expose the complicated nature of life, death, and the contemporary living experience.
I am interested in territories between the intellect and senses, places where the logical mind and the subconscious interface with a deeper sense of self.
