Misanthropical Insubordinate

Mostly sculptures, my work suggests an insurrection towards the society within which I live. I create ironic comments that focus on the darker aspects of our social climate, these annotations dictate dialogue rather than request it. My ambition is not subtlety.
Interaction with society is a primary goal; I therefore seize pieces of society and manipulate them to fulfil my belligerent needs. These materialise as common objects, iconic images and body parts.
There is no social stratification in the work, it is about them and you, and affects you all.
