Artist Statement
I am interested in investigating pictorial cliché and convention loosely within the structure of a classical still life or Vanitas painting. I consider myself a hoarder of images, and utilize repetitive labor to showcase this behavior. Obsession with food, classical beauty, and the grotesque or monstrous all feature in these amalgamations and cornucopia. Images of icons and the overused are paired with activities of personal disorder and disaffection.
