My work is a means to close wounds. My artistic language is informed by the specters of the abject and art brut, reducing expression to primal cries towards meanings. Through this I hope to continually forge a balanced identity diminishing its reliance on memory (cultural and personal) in its many faults and myths: to better speak to the issues of the traumatically afflicted individual. Not writing them off as solitary pariahs but as victims of external illnesses- of people seeking empire rather than liberation. The conditions would then be set for the artist to act as a catalyst for absurd infringements upon complacency.
