Bacteria In The Heart: Nest

My work centers on translating reality into the imaginative through means of abstraction. An inner desire for escape and discovery is the underlying theme. By morphing realistic and abstract forms together, utilizing imagery that references, deep sea creatures, microorganisms, children’s books, and botanical sketches, I illustrate dualities of life and death, growth and decay. It also can be seen as having a faint surrealistic quality, which has a delirious innuendo and feels oneiric, through order and disruption, and hide and seek. I create something outside of everyday reality, space or an environment to invent another realm of order. I investigate notions of order by creating a parallel tension through forms that both define but eventually disrupt each other; echoing the way humans function in relationships and families. At the same time my work strongly refers back to nature and science because however much we seek the fictional, we live in a tangible reality.
