Excerpts of statement:
"I am interested in emblematic and allegorical self-portraiture of an emotionally intimate nature.
My images serve as protection devices that allow me to analyze my own experiences and emotions. If I am able to project and capture the constantly changing impression of an idea that I have in my mind into/onto something tangible it allows me to experience the matter in its full spectrum.
To be able to objectively analyze something that is completely subjective in its nature is the goal and driving purpose behind what motivates me and fuels my work.
Concerning my series of representations of female sexuality, violence and aggression:
I am particularly interested in how certain prominent female figures in myth and folklore have been represented in paintings throughout history. Many of these females (stories) have been depicted so many times that the figure itself has become a sort of symbol in my mind. By placing myself in the role of these iconic figures I am exploring their significance to my understanding of my own aggression and sexuality."
hey baby girl. I hope you're not feeling as crazy as I am about the BFA show. Happy St. Patrick's Day. See you Friday! Do you guys want to do something after the show?
i miss you! phil is playing a free show tomarrow night (thurs) at the darkroom and its ali's birthday! you and rik should try to make an appearance! it feels like i haven't seen you guys since last year! xoxos*
I'm so happy you and Rik showed up the other night. You two are so fun. Come over all the time! Also...Thank you for the hat...I love it and Jason is pretty excited about the tarot deck.
Merry Christmas! I have some things that I was planning on sending to you, but I am waiting until after I go to New Orleans in case I find something else. Hope you and Rik are well, and drinking lots of spiced wine!
