“Ilike to focus on narratives of childlike wonder that have a dark underlying charm to them, and suggest story-telling
clues with motif and a keen eye for detail. A lot of my personal work has a quiet stillness to it, and hints at the feeling of childhood loneliness. I grew up in a chaotic environment and oftentimes found myself isolating and embracing the quiet meditative escape that art brought to me. Because of this affinity, I grew a strong relationship with animals and attention to detail, as I spent a lot of time quietly observing. The romanticization of detail and glimmering soli- tude has found its way into my work, and even if some may seem loud at first glance, this same feeling of isolation is always embedded within them.”
