My work engages a field of mental phenomena within, between, around and beyond beings. Using critical anthropomorphism as a means to explore and investigate possibilities of truth, I attempt to bridge the gap between personification and science. By coupling together different sources of information based on my real, artificial, and imaginary experiences, my work attempts to coexist with science, creating an existential dialogue about the phenomenological condition of being.

I work with watercolor pencils in both a sensitive and crude manner, innately using my saliva, hands and fingers to manipulate the material. This personal connection, much like caressing or grooming an animal, gives me the intimacy I need in the work as I bring the animal into being.

My understandings of the human condition and the natural world often comprise ironic pairings of tenderness and tragedy, gracefulness and awkwardness. By embracing the animal with uncertainty and curiosity, I am essentially interested in finding a space for considering the possibility of truths in animals as much as ourselves. In suggesting realms of emotion between fear and desire, my work dances with the discontinuous narrative and incompleteness of [the human] being but at times dwells on the tragedy of the human condition.
