The Lick Print

My work explores the relationship between consumer fetish, an ever-present anxiety ringing like tinnitus, and the key moments of our lives as Broadway performances. With influences from Magritte to Dali to internet memes, these synergies form a pop surrealism open to opaque and transparent discourse. I’ve always been fascinated by the endless oscillation of our temporal moods. What starts out as hope is inevitably corrupted by some fashion of temptation, leaving us a sense of nihilism and dread, but possibly enough left in the tank to garner prospects of a new beginning. Round and round it goes. Nothing ever really ends, though the viewer is left with insight into the possibilities within the next cycle.
