My works blends together a range of influences and materials to explore themes of desire, fantasy, and queerness. Drawing on LGBTQ archives, incorporating elements from defunct gay bar ads, and reframing gritty nightlife aesthetics to create a sense of serene pandemonium. Through a process of chance and revision, using a variety of media including drawing, digital media, traditional printmaking, and new-media fabrication, I synthesize a disarray of visual information into a final image that dissolves linear narrative and solidifies abstraction.
At the heart of my work is a spiritual connection to nature through queerness. I am inspired by the natural phenomena that shape our world and the ways in which our desires and experiences can be distorted and altered by the forces of nature. By blending history and fantasy, I create images that have political and phenomenological effects, exploring the intersection of nature, queerness, and the human experience.
