My work is both a rewriting and a combination of familiar or forgotten narra-tives. Visual history, folktales, human achievements (positive and negative), and “The Late Late Show with James Corden” are just the tip of the iceberg as far as inspirations. The symbolic baggage of images recombines to re-present well known stories and to create new ones; it’s as if one is looking at ideas from the other side of the page, holding it up to the light, and reading it from that side. The work connects these various accepted interpretations to either deconstruct them or rebuild them from scratch.
