Thesis Exhibition: March 26 - 29, 2014
Opening Reception: Friday, March 28, 6 - 8:30pm
My work explores the visual and material manifestation of contemporary social relations, specifically cultural, domestic, leisure, power, and labor relations. These established relationships aim to articulate the constructedness of the creative, cultural process while directly referring to the complexities of public experience. Materials and images are both found and sourced, providing the basis for both, a poetic analysis of aesthetic, behavioral, psychological conventions, and a creative exploration of potential structures and attitudes.
Painting is a haven for me to articulate a repressed crude sense of humor, and infantilized indulgences.
