Built on threads of memory and tied to the public collective consciousness, my drawings and installations connect personal narrative to social issues, natural and man-made disasters, and environmental degradation. I often draw on inspiration from a fire that consumed my childhood home when I was 15 years old. In the context of climate change, that displacement takes on new meaning. Rather than being an aberration of the past, the incident foretells a potentially apocalyptic future. Nonetheless, I use beauty as a device to seduce the viewer into engaging with serious and often challenging subjects. I rely on drawing in many forms to construct both real and symbolic representations, melding fact and fiction, past and present, to create meaning out of a world currently in turmoil.
