The work in this series explores the nature of shame and secrecy in the subconscious mind, and how it affects us as individuals. The work is nebulous in nature, because that is how our own emotions are, especially when dealing with thoughts and memories we’d rather not. Despite our desire to avoid such negative experiences, we still feel the need to revisit these things, like a throbbing sore in the mouth. However, even though the subjects of our shame are painful, we can still make something beautiful with them, even if they hurt us. 

 

It is my hope that my audience finds a way to relate to this work in a personal way. Perhaps it may spark the memory of an intimate experience, or remind them of a friend they once had, or perhaps they may feel a connection between themselves, and the characters I’ve created. Most importantly, I would like to take my audience on an emotional and intellectual journey.
