Artist Statement

My current work is an ongoing series of anthropomorphic food and fauna inspired by pop culture and nostalgia. Each deadpan dessert, ill-humored ice cream, or sour-faced sweet references cult film, television, or the universal experience of the adolescent awkward phase. I never left my awkward phase.
