My work is symbolic commentary on sociological and environmental issues. The themes are inadequacies in society posed as allegory. Primal experiences, nature and personal identity are symbolized in this allegorical world. Contemporary cultural icons and words are used to enhance or countermand the associations of the figurative images and symbols, emphasizing the dichotomy between physical self survival and spiritual isolation. I use printmaking and collage as an extension of drawing and painting; the most authentic and subjective tool to express my voice.
