Emotional Baggage

Information

A sludgy pile of feelings and thoughts, too abstract to make any sense of. Colours and forms that are a visual representation of a struggling relationship with emotions and identity, spilling out of an imagined fantasy and consuming everything in its wake.
I create sculptures that are a physical manifestation of intrapersonal analysis and dance the line between delightful and disturbing. My illustrations are looking at fragments of my dreams through a fairy tale looking glass, and together they create an image of my convoluted identity.
