As an artist I am inspired by the Dadist, Neo Dadist, and the Pop Art artist of the 1950’s and 1960’s. I love blurring the lines between materials whether it be carbon, gunpowder or most recently photography, in order to create images that evoke and connect. As an artist who thrives on the ability to experiment with different mediums, my latest series pays homage to Rauchenberg and his ability to take iconic images and make them pedestrian. I want to create a body of work that relates to people’s lives and is egalitarian in its inception. Many of the materials I use are present in everyone’s everyday life whether it be a candle burning or a magazine image. I aspire to create work that elevates the innate form to a higher level of understanding.
