My work largely takes place within the realm of painting and digital collage. The presence of text in my works hints toward an affinity for lyricism, acting as abstract summaries of the content of the paintings. In a coded manner, I have attempted to address the current climate of rampant superstition and the rise of conservative leadership, using visual metaphors from countercultural cinema and art historical references. More specifically, the on-screen and historically painted scenes of occult gatherings point toward alternative social mores within a surreal and imagined space.
