Biografia
Each work undergoes its own evolution, beginning with small line drawings in notebooks and progressing through watercolor and ink. With each successive stage of drawing the form grows into uncomfortably familiar modes; part animal, part human, part transition.
Although we think of ourselves as unique, our sexuality ties us undeniably to nature. The fluid slippage between human and animal reminds us—for better or for worse—that we are not as evolved as we would like to think.
The multiplicities of cloning, regeneration and biological manipulation are an undercurrent, but my goal is to affect the viewer personally rather than politically.
Thus the work is not intended to shock but to create a moment of revelation, a space in the mind of the viewer that can be both relief and intrigue.
