Artist Statement
This series of disquieting allegories explores experiences accumulated during adolescence. While imagery and color palette are whimsical, the juxtaposition of visual elements suggest stories more mature in nature. Layers of meaning imbued with humor, solemnity, and sexuality filter through the images, but are not easily deciphered. The work is based on subject matter in both the realm of memory and fantasy.
