—  Artist Statement

Forever lurking.

My style of design and personal art is a reflection of self and humanity, an introspective dance between issues of cultural importance and aspects of our shadow selves. Struggle and awareness are the forces that drive my desire to communicate, while love, devotion and awe fuel my creative process. I am an organized voyeur working in the realm of reaction, constantly seeking gratification that a nerve has been struck, a brow has been raised, or a spine has been chilled. I have taken an unconventional approach to drug awareness in the form of a fashion collection to educate through means of cultural relevance. I have used light as a medium and the body’s movement to illustrate the dark and heavy burdening of mental illness. Empathy over apathy; confession over repression. I aim to arouse surreal fascination and ignite conceptual catharsis. The predominant goal of my work is to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.
