Very much back into human/animal relationships, I always go back to that topic because it truly perplexes and inspires me. I am also doing more outdoor festivals, so stay tuned for future dates!
New art posted! Take a look
Also, some new art direction, I find that I am constantly drawn to “shocking stories” that show the depths of human evil, such as islands stray dogs are sent to in the hopes they’ll live off the environment but instead cannibalize each other, or a man keeping a girl captive for 18 years and fathering her children, while she is presumed dead. I find these things fascinating, and worth depicting in some way. I have recently been very much drawn to the idea of individual floating environments, and the idea everything existing in masses, piles, large numbers, whether it be a mass of emotions, years, or living things, it all exists in large masses. I prefer minimalist backgrounds, and feel it adds to the surreal solitary existence everything has. I have also begun looking at my family for inspiration, from my father’s peanut butter jar and light bulb collections, to my sister’s odd yoga poses. My environment is really starting to be present in my work. I also find great interest in what I refer to as artificial nature, or replications of nature, and how these things seem to have more importance placed on them than the real nature around us. We need to treat nature just as preciously as these manufactured things.
