ARTIST STATEMENT
Born in the 70s, raised in the 80s, seems to be my ultimate influencer. Simultaneously, being the best era (* biased opinion) for media for a euphoric childhood (i.e., the birth of Pac-Man, He-Man, Back to the Future, and Star Wars), while some of the worst atrocities in recent history were taking place (*frequent plane hijackings, Tiananmen Square, mass serial killers at large and… Chernobyl).
The realization that hits you as you get older, and you learn that, while you were young and having fun, there were great tragedies happening across the globe. My work tries to convey both, and sometimes I mix them together.
