ARTIST STATEMENT
Using collaged imagery, often blending art historical with modern references, I create familiar yet irreverent scenes packed with socio-political commentary, allowing an examination of current rhetoric through historic counterpoints.
The woodblock printing method provides a bold, graphic media through which I seek to understand the structure of both past and present. Combining historical research with old printing technology to comment on new but recurring issues, I unpack pervasive societal flaws that cross time and culture.
I examine the subtle relationship of constructing mythologies as a propaganda technique, begetting the circulation of disinformation to the advantage of the powerful and detriment of the masses. I use printmaking, a traditionally more proletarian art form, as a subversion of this, instead establishing a personal iconography within editioned works to counteract widespread falsehoods.

Analogue Narratives - Mount Analogue is a novel by René Daumal that remained unfinished at the time of the author's death in 1944. A spontaneous decision to continue Daumal's trek began in October of 2010 with a small group of artists discussing the work on Facebook. The project began as an example of Exquisite Corpse writing on a Facebook thread. Soon this was curated as a stand-alone blogging project that showcased the work of the 12 collaborators. The commentary, narratives, pictures, sounds, and links form a version of possible endings for Daumal's classic tale of searching for enlightenment.
