My artwork is created from a combination of childhood memories, fantasy and pop culture, often drawing from vintage advertisements, outer space imagery and scientific graphs. I am especially interested in the tension between the fantasy of an idealized past versus a harsher reality. My collages represent a kind of “retro-futurism” where nothing is quite real and everything is up for interpretation. Through rearranging opposing elements, I build surreal scenes which invite the viewer to create their own stories. My goal is to connect with others, whether that be through a personal memory, nostalgia, humor or purely through visual intrigue.
