Seeking to critique society, politics and challenge political ideologies surrounding current events. I draw on quotes and images from the media. I chop and change them to illustrate my perspective on current socio-political climate.
I create layers to cover the information I want to restrict, and wipe away some portions of layers to reveal more information. By using bold lettering on top of the layers of paint gives the viewer the overview of the theme of a piece. Weaving different media and using bold headlines I try to capture the nature of politics and world events.
We are constantly bombarded by rapidly evolving media, not all true, not all false and rarely in the middle my paintings serve as a reflection and commentary on social and political issues, particularly issues in America. I invite and challenge viewers to engage in the types of critical dialogue we desperately lack.
