Using layers of mediums of visual language, mirroring our postmodern lives, I am able to signify multiple meanings and suggestions using a visual code. These references and cultural symbols become autobiographical for a small town 90s kid informed and influenced by art, film, and music culture. My research deals with the phenomenology of this cultural significance. I take hold of identifiable images that make up my idiosyncratic identity and transform them into a unified aesthetic, using techniques found in cartooning, graffiti tagging, movie posters, and concert flyers, evoking Dada, Surrealism, and American Abstract Expressionism. My collages, consisting of paint and paper on wood, are usually no bigger than a few inches, and are unusual shapes. The images are original source material such as vintage books, magazines, and comics that are collected as found objects and repurposed into Scuzz.
