STATEMENT
Gathered here are some examples from two bodies of work. One series has come to a close and as for the newer series (still in progress), how it will move forward and change remains to be seen. On first viewing I imagine they may seem like two distinctly different bodies of work, but I would say they share a strong relation to one another, a common thread. They both deal with the idea of a failed world, or rather the question of whether we have failed. They share a sense of skepticism toward the monuments and icons to religious ideologies, political ideologies and the absolutism and authority they imply. |
