Artists Statement My work, in studio art, magazines, performance & exhibitions, is marked by my refusal to separate popular culture and my mostly autobiographical images. My visual & performance work is demonstrated with non-linear narrative. The themes of my work; singularity, relationship to self & others, romantic interludes, and striving for undeserving fame are a constant state of reference for me. I make work that is plays with narcissism, wanderlust, and impractical liaisons. These subjects are executed through painting, photos, videos, and performance.
