INSTALLATION: I’m interested in creating environments that reference pop-culture, questions the notions of value of worth, talks about the DIY culture many young artists across the nation are embracing, the relevance of wonder and phenomena while we are existing in an ever increasing digitally-driven world, and the general notion of spirituality and self-identification within the framework of a contemporary culture. Within these environments I create fragments of subcultures spanning time from historical to contemporary movements. These subcultures date back to Native Americans; embracing spirituality, mysticism, and transcendentalism to current movements occurring in music culture such as; trance, electronic, and Witch House. These fragments of already existing subcultures work together to talk about the human condition for the need to identify within a group and are also self-reflexive of my own personal narrative and interests.
