Lives and works in New York, NY

Artist statement

My work, both visual and cerebral, is about imagery and what images mean; the coded structures embodied, inherent. From this, I work to address the meaning(s) of what is shown, then subvert them by rendering it differently, seeking parallels that are either blatant or conceptual. I draw from various obsessions, including cartoons, anime, fashion, video games, film, memes, and famed art historical works and/or critical theory. Much of my work is seeded in reappropriating visuals to create different narratives outside of power hierarchies, suspended from reality. I am keenly interested in the implications of technology on perception, experience, and artistic medium. Working between multiple programs, screens, and files - layering to at once address the latent meanings within the samples, whether still or in motion, while weaving an abstracted realm free of such earthly confines of gravity, falling past the expectations of the real.
