About Me:
My work brings the darkness and unpredictability of the human mind to the forefront, disguised as beauty. I reveal a melancholic parable familiar to most, yet rarely celebrated. My recent photographic series Lashon Hara (%u2018Evil Tongue%u2019) is inspired by Abrahamic religions, and uses dramatic lighting and staging to echo and re-interpret Italian Renaissance paintings. Through both these (self) portraits and public interventions by performance troupe, Sylva Dean and Me, featuring my wearable sculptures made from milk cartons, I probe the boundaries between the beautiful and the grotesque.
