“Drawing is my mechanism for alleviating the stresses and irrational anxieties that invade my day-to-day reality. I wish to show the struggle against forces beyond out control or understanding; against destruction, collapse, change, decay, and death. These forces, be they natural, biological, or otherwise, threaten to damage and destroy the body. The themes of body horror and abjection are prevalent in my work. Bodies are fragmented, twisted and contorted. In some cases the figure is not apparent but lost amongst the undulations of decay and detritus. Internal body parts are exposed as the outside barriers of the body begin to break down and merge with their surroundings.”
