As an artist I crave the sweet moments when I am working and I am able to slip beneath my own conscious control.
​
While making art, I seek to lose awareness of the outside world and of myself. I am free when working from within, untethered to expectation and thought, even if what comes to the surface is the worst experience of my life.
​
It would be disingenuous of me to deny the obvious references in this series. Never far below the surface is the trauma I endured as a teenager. I suffered a drug induced paralysis and rape at the hands of a sadist. The nightmare no longer demands my constant care, but I do respect its voice when it rises.
​
This series of self portraits examines vulnerability through the guise of disembodiment. The images are disturbing. I hope they serve as more than just a personal release. May these images give tangible form to all those needing it.
