The artist:
I push the boundaries of visual art through process and interconnectedness, where meaning emerges organically. The most compelling shifts happen between control and chaos.
Restless and eclectic, I move across creative methods, letting my work evolve with my shifting state of mind. I’m drawn to how sustained focus transforms perception—how the grotesque, when deeply observed, becomes meaningful.
My art blends diverse materials and ideas to reflect interdependence, mirroring the systems of nature and human experience. By blurring the line between humans and animals, I highlight shared vulnerability, using the grotesque to explore emotional tension rather than shock.
At its core, my practice is driven by a need to understand how things are made, how they change, and why they matter.
The hooves gave a feeble squelch, struggling to break free, deadlocked in the royal antlers of their now-contorted opponent. Impotent despair after the primal dance of death.
What lay before me was raw, beautiful, and brutal—the inevitability of animal misfortune. These stags, eye to eye, trapped with no means of escape. And at what cost? Did the surviving stag, lungs heaving, muscles trembling, feel victory, or was it something closer to terror? The weight of its still-living body seemed almost heavier than his fallen opponent, the eyes wide, pleading.
The air was wet and heavy—a pathetic fallacy. At which point do we begin to question their consciousness, their pain, their awareness of futility? This moment held me captive, a cruel mirror of life’s ruthless indifference.
