My current work reassesses the notions of privacy and presumption. In my series, From One to One Hundred Million, I employ imagery that can be seen as benign or even slightly silly as a metaphor for my own and, my presumed perception, of other's private lives. I aim to create a visual language as a form of personal communication, but this communication is simply an abbreviation of unrealized situations. These ‘abbreviations’ act as anecdotes that allow for multiple configurations. Each painting is entirely anomalous and individual; doubled meanings exist and do not surface in tandem allowing for various interpretations. For the same reason, I use a color palette that disrupts presumed associations of innocence, gender, and socio-cultural tendencies. In order to address these assumed and somewhat contradictory messages, I underhandedly use humor to expose unreasonable expectations and sublimated desires.
