My work explores alternative materials and modes of distribution in order to offer incisive commentary on our common cultural milieu. This shared conceptual foundation unifies the variety of media and visual styles within my body of work. Working in digital media and online has tremendous power to reach broad audiences outside of art institutions. Graffiti holds the same promise for a completely different kind of audience, while also uplifting and reclaiming derelict sites. Comic books, illustration, and other forms of sequential art are accessible and readily reproducible media free from connotations of high art exclusivity. Styrofoam Halloween decorations, garden gnomes, tawdry underwear, and airline safety information cards are mainstream vehicles of cultural meaning and irresistible candidates for the détournement that underlies my entire art practice.
