Inspired by alternate reality, sci-fi, cult trends, makeup palettes, stuffed animals and the Sims, 

my paintings compartmentalized color and content into cognitive spaces.

 

Sourcing from archives of photos, memory, and dreams in the interest of how these means of existing overlap and digress from one another, the paintings exploit the thresholds, errors, and edits created within these relationships. Information is synthesized into a map of architecture, plant beds, characters and symbolic alphabets.

 

The abstractions investigate subjectivity and communication in between spaces of media and language. Using tertiary colors provocative of queerness, the paintings showcase everyday icons through an androgynous lens. I'm intrigued by how hybridity informs queerness, and wonder how queerness, magic and love can deconstruct language, ideas, and systems. 

 

They are romanticizing making a new friend, capturing the coincidence of encountering a bug, the archives of personal data. They are nebulous landscapes with amorphous tokens of memory affairs. Mementos from past lives. 

 

I want to decode cryptic and abstruse emotionality to build a shared meaning of existence. To share my deepest thoughts and anxieties while learning yours. To construct a visual representation of the feeling of home, self-hood, and queerness. I want you to feel the overwhelming high of falling in love while simultaneously and anxiously falling apart. I want to make room for you to find yourself in my work in whichever way fits.
