My work explores liminal identities which are forced to maneuver through varying socioeconomic backgrounds and racial cultures. Specifically, the inadequacies that one feels when you are placed in a socioeconomic status outside of what you were born into. In recent work, HouseMan is a creature that somehow finds itself in a new world. He tries to use his homes as a protection, and in a sense, he accomplishes this goal. Unfortunately, these homes also act as a burden which prohibits him from presenting his true self. This work is rooted in my own experience of being raised in a lower socioeconomic background, but acquiring a terminal degree in a field that is predominantly Middle-class or above and/or white. I fall under the Middle-class bracket as a result of my education, but I am still learning to maneuver between both cultures. I am simultaneously part of all these components and yet not fully accepted by them. The Liminal experience is explored through the use of symbols: homes, figure, environment; material choices: found cardboard, digital prints, color paper; and construction: collage, decollage, drawing, sculpture. Symbols act as literal depictions, materials reflect the quality of said symbols, and construction allows contradictory materials and symbols to co-exist. These elements are then placed through a filter of fantasy and satire which help the viewer digest the uneasiness of a liminal existence.
