Artist Statement: “My question is, ‘what is beauty and what is perfection’? My message is ‘we get to decide’. My work is mostly play. Where I do work though, is in trying to explore that middle place where beautiful and grotesque, edgy and whimsical, dark and light converge. The place where they can answer each other in an honest conversation about perfection. I am constantly searching in this place, delving into this notion of imperfection as a way of satisfying my own curiosity. If I can likewise induce curiosity in some of the viewers of my work as I continue to investigate in this way, what could be better?”
