Artist Statement:
Personal growth and self-discovery require discomfort. If the place and people where you are supposed to find encouragement, support, and acceptance make that journey more difficult, that discomfort becomes dangerous and disturbing, halting progress and reverting to fundamentals of continued existence. My work examines the nature of deception as survival in a place of perceived shelter when the safety that shelter should offer is compromised. I use masks to illustrate the roles we often must play to protect ourselves. The eyes ensure our adherence to those roles and the mirrors continue to reflect the performative aspects that conceal our rich interior lives.
