Thesis Exhibition
Artist Statement: My works are attempts to make sense of the world that I(we) live in by exploring the dissonance between false binaries and dualities that are prevalent in ideologies both throughout history and in the immediate present. I find myself drawn to questions about perversion and innocence, the wielding of power, the dynamics of gender, and good and evil. Much of the imagery I use in my work is a nod towards anime/manga, video games, art history and mythology, all distorted into reimagined narratives.
