My practice is a work of fan-fiction. With my pictures I reassemble, re-contextualize, and remix the broad scope of my interests in music, art history, philosophy, and literature into a form that is simultaneously familiar and arcane. I work largely in painting and drawing, but also photography, installation, video, sound, and performance.

The most recent work is an exercise in unpacking the mythos surrounding mid-twentieth-century modernist painting and creating new connections between high art and lurid pop culture.

Lately, I can’t escape my wonder at the incredible rate of biological growth at nearly every granular level of life here in Nashville. I am very interested in the form and implied meanings within this miraculous blight of fecundity. Hard surfaces are revealed as wiggling swarms, and solids are revealed as veiled honeycombs of interiority where water percolates through rock and bugs wiggle inside trees. It’s just wild to see people prune trees with a chainsaw only to see them sprout a thick fuzz of leaves when spring comes back around.
