Artist Statement:
I see in today’s culture
everything marketed as
product. Even war is turned
into a hot new game and
resembles a slick TV ad
repeated endlessly until it
becomes your unconscious
mantra. We're all suckers for
beauty, and the sparkle of
savvy marketing blinds us to
what is really going on. My
work also uses glitter and
shine to attract, but its
intent is to reveal the truth
inside by poking fun at the
glitz.
I love working with synthetic
hair, plastics, and fabrics.
This is partly from my past
experience as a hairstylist
and working in clubs, but also
because they have the ability
to act as a veneer to the
subject. I’m fascinated by
clouds and stubborn plants
sprouting from cement, which
is my limited nature in the
city, and I’m hooked on The
New Yorker and National
Geographic, whose stories
inhabit my work.
My present work illustrates
how current events are turned
into glittery products. They
are sold as a better, fabulous
life, but beware! I don’t want
the world around us to be
destroyed by commercial
interests, and hopefully my
form of beauty lures you in to
look past the facade....
