Artist statement:
My artistic practice is focused on the psyche and semiotics. The works dissect the transcultural aspects of ritual, sacred object evolution and the role biology plays in the archetypal development of deific morphology. The pieces raise questions surrounding the origins of belief and spiritual identity and explore interconnected notions of the transcendent.
