Artist Statement
I am inspired by overexposed symbolism originating from the grandeur of American culture: i.e. Family hierarchical structures and idol based relationships, propaganda, self-proclamation and infomercials. I hyperextend the satiric nature of idealist America, bringing forth a grotesque, almost sinister undertone. By using metal, wood, foam and rubber, figures and environments are created which explore the deformation and re-creation of normalcy in a garish and vivacious manner.
