Artist's Comments

I think about my work as a way to understand and make realizations about myself and society, to make sense of a thread that is going to take me through life and lead me to a destination. My work is basic truths about the "self" hence myself. It is an exploration and acceptance of who I am and how I relate to my surroundings. I have created a system using a simple mapping, to break down complexities. It has been through a process of building myself up and breaking myself down to find a balancing point. It's all a part of understanding.
