Artwork: “The first step"

I am drawn to documenting bad habits and their greater implications, the obsessive thoughts and "ridiculous" behaviors of the otherwise sane and to embrace an inexplicable point of chaos within an otherwise orderly situation.  My work deals with the disturbances of the unexceptional phenomenon of daily life. I am investigating meaningless repetition through compulsive and destructive grooming - which details become objects of fixation and which fall through the cracks. 

I am interested in the potential greater implications of these "glitches" through both personal narrative and as a microcosm reflecting an estranged society that doesn't seem to know how to cope with its own enormous consciousness.  Intuitively my work seems to find metaphor within the media I am attracted to.

​

I am predisposed to materials that focus my own inner chaos into the necessity to "fix", to shape and to correct until I reach a kind of breaking point and can no longer continue.  There exists in the process a continual exchange between satisfaction and dissatisfaction, a playground for the nuances of my own failures, creating a constant dialogue between my perfectionism and that which is out of my control.
