Artist statement

Drawing heavily upon traditions of myth, metaphor and allegory, my artistic practice is rooted in the use of nonlinear narrative to explore personal, psychological, philosophical and political sites of subjective crisis. Focusing on issues surrounding trauma, memory, sexuality, power, morality and faith, my images engage with the silent constructs and disordered undercurrents of our corporeal existence.
