My goal as an artist is to explore human nature through the fascinating and beautiful forms of some of our most phobia-inspiring creatures. We can learn much about ourselves by examining that which we find most alien. My work explores edges, where definitions become indistinct- lines between human and animal blur as our instinct to anthropomorphize emerges, and creatures hybridize in the face of human examination.
At times our need for categorization is the very thing that creates these amalgams. I make art to better understand the beauty in otherness, and how much of ourselves we project back onto the world.
