In many of my works I reference popular media often associated with childhood. Within children's media I tend to utilize the visual representation and styles attributed to videogames, cartoons, animation, etc. I am attracted to the social innocence in which these styles imply. I am also very interested in producing feelings of contradiction as well as employing various adult themes (violence, sex, taboo, etc.). By blending children's media with adult themes I attempt to provide truthfulness to reality as opposed to fairy tale, myth, and fantastic irrationality. Above all I hope to inspire new interpretation of the individual to the commonplace.
