OUTWARD REPRESENTATIONS:
An internal dilemma where the instinctual flight of self-protection challenges the desire to fight and be understood.
I am deeply engaged with the human response of self-preservation and that which threatens the well-being of an individual, be it amplified from internalized rumination or the immediate danger of destructive, physical harm. The forces that threaten us are innumerable. They are seen and unseen. They are of our own making, they are inherited, they are stumbled upon, they are by chance.
I dissect the trauma of my own self-preservation through layers of visual information whereby color and texture, and shape and form, come together to form a self-aware, though often frantic discretionary show and tell.
I seek to uncover, de-escalate and resolve.
