Artist Statement
Through understanding and analysis of memories and experiences, I intend to encourage introspection and further dialog concerning socio-political issues including but not limited to sexuality, identity and popular culture in America. These issues are vast and I do not claim to be an expert on any of them in the slightest. What I do intend to show is what I have experienced and what I know to be true for myself, in my life, thus far.
