Conceptual work (collection)
Personal thoughts and reflections
Conceptual art allows me to share certain thoughts and feelings that may be hard to articulate otherwise. This makes for highly personal images that are intentionally challenging to read, like a visual puzzle.
Cycles
Sometimes we meet someone at a serendipitous time. But more often the timing will be off just a notch, and the encounter will go by in passing. Drawn with one of my favorite short stories in mind, by Haruki Murakami: On Seeing The 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning.
Procedural Heartbreak
Heartbreak as a procedurally generated puzzle that's different every time, but follows a similar logic. Even if you return it to its initial state, something will have changed.
Go HAM or Go Home
Social commentary on empty corporate careers. Going 'HAM' stands for going 'Hard As a Motherfucker".
Comfort Machine
4:12 AM - "I woke up from uneasy dreams and rolled onto my side. The light from my phone and all the life inside of it felt comfortable and warm".
Great Coat
An image about loss and grief, after the beautiful song and spoken word work Great Coat" by LYR.
Association cards
Two dream-like images for a card set, that never made it to production. The concept was to draw a card (by yourself or with another person) and examine a personal question alongside the associations that would come up from the card.
Themes I wanted to incorporate were: Water, freedom, fish, femininity, sexuality, movement, excitement, dance, falling [left]; trepidation, protection, discovery, warmth, sunflowers, companionship, vulnerability, danger [right].
