“I believe we, as humans, wear masks everyday. We become who we need to be in different situations in life. We sometime conceal parts of ourselves in order to fit in. I use this idea of hidden identity in my artwork in a somewhat ridiculous creepy way, contrasting humor with more serious emotions. Working with photographs from mostly mature men, I create my own heroes. When men mature in life, their knowledge and experience become more evident and distinct in their faces and bodies; this allows me to take from their apparent narrative to create my own. Working from personal and found photography, I try and let the emotional expressions and posture of the figures influence the character and narrative of the hero.”
