MY PRACTICE uses minimalist techniques with a DIY ethos, combining physical magazine and journal clippings with packing tape. I play with concepts of iconoclasm, excess, abjection, and suffering. Utilizing exclusively physical media, packing tape, and glue, my pieces often depict the phenomenology of various types of pain and suffering, each explored through the contrast between materiality versus immateriality, organic versus inorganic, and spectator versus spectacle. I take inspiration from artists like Ron Athey, Hans Bellmer, and Zdzisław Beksiński, informed by philosophers and critics from Thomas Ligotti to Elaine Scarry.
