UNFATHOMABLE HUMANITY

Artist Statement

“What is said is done, what is lost is doomed, what is forgotten is dammed.”

I create photography based prints, books, and installations with history and societal systems as my theme, specifically the concept of the hero and the anti-hero. I use a visual language of icons and gestures assembled into compound images to create narratives that address this issue. This language, which I have gathered over many years, consists of photographs of iconography and inanimate representations from many historical and mundane settings throughout the world, as well as imagery taken from mass media outlets. My goal is to achieve a uniquely personal social commentary and analysis using my language of iconography as its voice.
