If psychosis is a breakdown of meaning, what my paintings attest to is how deviancy, addiction, fantasy and dreams of destruction are symptoms of living in a country that is impossible to make sense of. Any search for truth is betrayed by the vulgarness of life under capital. What then are we left with? My work attends to the real of the United States. If anything, the paintings are enchanted and perturbed by the strange beauty of the absurdity, isolation, addiction and horror that haunts this country.
Based in New York City
