At its core, my work is about specificity. It deals with the precise truths and experiences of my life, embracing the exclusion, confusion, and maximalism that come from trying to represent a person completely. These paintings are autobiographical by nature - in many works, multiple realities mesh into one. In one scene I am five, living in a house with a hole in its center, my brothers at the helm of my life, and in the same scene I am twenty, allowing my work to be less precious for the first time, paint not quite reaching the edges of the panel.
