As an artist, my goal is to make the viewer uncomfortable through abstraction and the inclusion of the human figure within paintings and installations. Throughout my work, I have abstracted the heads of the figures to allow the viewers to imagine themselves as the subject matter. Recently, the abstracted heads have been made up of dried acrylic pour that represent feelings and emotions within the pieces. With the newest inclusion of text, my current work explores derogatory terms. The main intent behind making the Pose Series is to have the viewers understand that words hurt. When carelessly or in a spiteful manner, they can psychologically affect the person that they are used against.
