My work is the result of an ever-ricocheting attention span, resulting in a worldview constructed with pop culture, public radio, punk rock, comics, and conspiracy theories. The result is a black comedy of epic proportions where unseen forces beg for your comradery or forgiveness, or try to sell you condos, while the food you eat turns your teeth into mush. This world is made of fictional events based on true stories, one where the recording devices and magnetic tape have been pulled apart and remade to correct, imply, or distort history. Against a lush backdrop of color a cast of characters is just starting to recall the past, prepare for the future and question the present, all the while the stage is in disrepair, and falling down around them.
Through snippets of current events, bolstered by advertising, politics and attached to the world at large my work deals with the catalogue of human disasters both personal and global in nature. Often my research begins by pondering the curious problem of how human beings have gotten themselves into such tragedies, and how they succeed or fail to adapt to these situations. Through humor, narrative and metaphor I attempt to dissect health problems, environmental disasters and political crisis and our continued inability to successfully navigate them.
