I AM FASCINATED BY THE DARK SIDE OF OUR PSYCHOLOGICAL MAKEUP.

​

 PRIMAL DRIVES LIKE DESIRE, AGRRESSION, HUNGER FOR POWER AND PLEASURE, ARE ALL DOMINANT 

 FORCES, THAT ARE DEEPLY ROOTED WITHIN US AS SURVIVAL MECHANISMS, BUT ALSO FORCES WE 

 CONSTANTLY HAVE TO CENSOR, REPRESS OR ADMINISTER, TO MAINTAIN A CIVILISED ENVIRONMENT.

​

                                                          IN MY ART, I AM COMPELLED TO EXPRESS AND GIVE FORM TO THESE, MORE 

                                                                  OR LESS TABOO, NEVER THE LESS FUNDAMENTAL, POWERS WITHIN. 

 

                                                                  VISUALLY, I AM TRYING TO BALANCE BETWEEN THE SENSE OF A RAW,

                                                                        FERAL ENERGY, CONTRASTED WITH A DELICATE ALLURE, WHICH I

                                                                                LIKE TO THINK FITS THE AMBIGUOUS AND COMPLEX PUSH-AND-

                                                                            PULL, WE EXPERIENCE TOWARDS OUR OWN PRIMAL NATURE.
