My work is thematically centered in examining my human experience and its effects on my persona. This examination can be difficult, as experiences must first be converted to memory, then reconstructed and explored, leading me down a path that is all at once, exciting, cleansing, tortuous, and often futile - yet it compels me to decode and recreate these experiences. Constant exposure to films, music, cartoons, stories, science and the events of the world around me make it difficult to distinguish pure memories from fabricated ones. It seems that the past determines the present, but the present also shapes the past as memories become distorted and twisted over time.
The imagery in my work is an amalgamation of candid recollections and fabricated realities constructed in the guise of toys, props, architecture, and machines, presented on various proscenia. By revisiting and interpreting, I wish to play with the connotations of these images, objects, and materials.
