Statement

Common in all of my work is my desire to pose questions that engage an audience either through a concept, humor, or direct interaction. By questioning issues such as the "male gaze", the objectification of women, cultural pressures, the taboos that surround sexuality and nudity I seek to drive viewers to see our world and culture from a different perspective.
