This Doorway Leads to Nothing 22.5 x 24 in ink, acrylic paint, and stain on wood 2021
In the piece of this show most concerned with physical portals, evocative painted details tie medieval style illuminations to modern themes of climate change. This is executed using recognizable symbols such as a computer error message and a circular illustration showing a forest fire and regrowth in the afermath.
I aim to explore the fantastical as a societal lens. My work addresses how fantasy deconstructs human behavior, and an evolving motif of portals: entrances and exits to or from one state of being to another.
