Blurring the lines between public and private spaces to reveal the often fragile veneer of the social expectations that both protect and constrain us. Leaving us feeling exposed, yet curiously liberated.

Domestic Bliss

You're my funny valentine,
Sweet comic valentine,
You make me smile with my heart.
Your looks are laughable, un-photographable,
Yet, you're my favorite work of art.

Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak, are you smart?

But, don't change a hair for me.
Not if you care for me.
Stay little valentine, stay.
Each day is Valentine's Day.

(Lorenz Hart)


My Funny Valentine

Roses are red, violets are blue.
I gave you my heart, you cut it in two. 

With love, Rose

RainMaker serves as a reflection on our inherent desire to influence nature, referencing age-old practices like rain dances that embodied a closer connection to the elements. It invites contemplation on our contemporary disconnection from the natural world and prompts consideration of the wisdom embedded within traditional approaches that fostered a harmonious coexistence with nature.

By juxtaposing the stillness of the turbulent landscape and impending storm with the rhythmic movement of the figure, I aim to evoke a sense of awe and invite introspection about our ongoing struggle to find equilibrium and harmony with nature. Using stop motion animation allows me to add a dynamic quality and emphasize the transformative power of movement. Rainmaker invites not only appreciation of nature  in an increasingly digital age but also the importance of reconnecting with the wisdom of ancient practices and acknowledging our place within the intricate tapestry of the natural world.

ScreenTime explores the implications of our digital experiences, acknowledging the veneer it often casts upon our encounters with the natural world. Using analog collage and stop motion animation I aim to provoke reflection on the dichotomy between our digital existence and the untamed beauty of untouched landscapes. By disrupting the figure's layer with nature's imagery, I invite us all  to consider the consequences of our screen-centric lives and contemplate the potential loss of our deep connection with nature.

This artwork serves as a catalyst for dialogue, encouraging viewers to question their priorities and seek meaningful moments of immersion in the natural world. Through symbolic layers and dynamic animation, Screentime urges us to find a harmonious balance, nurturing our bond with nature and rediscovering its authentic serenity within the ever-increasing dominance of screens in our lives.

Smoke and Mirrors refracts old Hollywood's through dissected portraits. In each reassembly, the magnetic allure of the silver screen and our collective infatuation with its stars emerge, challenging perceptions of cinematic dreams and reality.

Pieces of Me

The Genius

Smoke and Mirrors collages reimagine vintage Hollywood portraits, exploring glamour, illusion, and the power of image-making. Fragmentation and reorganization reflect on Hollywood's influence on our notions of beauty, romance, and fame.

The GM 2023 collection unfolded as a year-long artistic journey, daring myself to push the boundaries of my creative process. 

From the inception of the project, where collectors minted tokens without previews, to the monthly releases, this unique series became a canvas for evolving ideas and embracing the endless possibilities that paper offers. 

As we conclude this chapter, I look forward to the continued exploration of new artistic dimensions in the coming year, building on the foundation laid by the GM 2023 experience.
