Disparate Entities

Intentionally cluttered, contradictory and complex—my compositions capture the chaos of the modern world, through deconstruction and rearrangement of the internal and external and the animate and inanimate.

In one way, I’m forcing nature and technology close together again, to prompt viewers to think about the disconnection we have from the things we consume. Yet my art features familiar items that have permeated our lives, asking viewers to consider the role of each.

My earlier work focused on deconstructing human forms to explore my internal conflict, but has since evolved beyond my personal story to include the exterior realm.

Now it is intentionally symbolic, encouraging viewers to explore their own interpretation within each piece. I believe illustration is a unique visual language that can help us articulate and explore complex issues. It gives me a way to connect to and inspire others with vibrancy and creativity.

This piece features a cadmium red heart, a pair of kidneys, an open (screaming) mouth, a brain, both a large and a small intestine, a tap, a pair of lungs, some tentacles, bunny ears, two ear lobes, a moustache, and an eye with eyelashes.
