Each work is a theatrical spectacle in which I paradoxically stage nightmarish scenes, disagreeable beauty and theaters of abjection to reveal the intent behind my work. Reoccurring themes throughout my work involve abandonment, life, death, extravagance, and the macabre.

I work in a surrealist state of mind, often described as pure psychic automatism. Thus, the objects I use within these images are based on intuition rather than literal symbolism. Most surrealists experimented with the objet trouve, producing unsettling, illogical combinations of objects divorced from their normal settings and functions. While playing with allegory, I want to create curious arrangements on a controlled stage.
