My work explores the relationship between Pre-raphaelite tenets and unwanted gifts. With influences as diverse as Kafka and Andy Warhol, new variations are created from both explicit and implicit textures. Ever since I was a teenager I have been fascinated by the theoretical limits of the human condition. What starts out as yearning soon becomes corrupted into a dialectic of power, leaving only a sense of dread and the dawn of a new understanding. As subtle phenomena become transformed through frantic and critical practice, the viewer is left with a testament to the limits of our existence.
