Artist Statement
I
am very interested in tracing the origins of evil I feel present in my life. I
show a
corruption in my work, a corruption of my soul, and a corruption in my body
throughout my life. My works are alive, moving, melting, breathing but also
dying. They are wounded but still fighting. I find it interesting how some
emotions can become so powerful that they start to materialize into something. Growing
up in my home, there was envy, malicious intentions, and hatred between people.
I felt those energies growing within me and my home. Like a parasite, growing, and
becoming something supernatural, these entities slowly became very powerful, taking
over, influencing, and creating chaos within my environment. These entities are
constantly changing, becoming worse and worse, or ameliorating themselves; growing,
morphing, mutating and contaminating spaces. I believe in my life I have lived
through experiences that have really destroyed my soul at some point. Changing
me and taking from me little by little every day. Having my compassions and
sensitivities taken away, it’s slowly caused me to become desensitized. In my
work, I show a slow, growing, corrupting energy that gives a sense of evil…a
sense of something being possessed.
