Having trained as a printmaker, I appreciate the concept of multiples. Printmaking’s function as a tool for mass communication was born from the need to create multiples in order to distribute new ideas to a broader audience. Now, as a culture, we communicate through entertainment, advertising, and political policy. In this context, I feel it essential to explore how our vanity and our reasoning drive our desires, how humor often serves as a mask for our anxieties, and how the role of the observer is no longer exclusive to the artist but has become the duty of the citizen. Utilizing a variety of techniques, from traditional printmaking and drawing to installation and video cultivated from an array of sources allows me to create an ever-expanding body of work with which I hope to spark questions of influence, authority and power in contemporary society.
