Artist Statement
Stemming from my rural upbringing, thick southern accent, and my love for story telling, my work utilizes text and language. I often use phrases, jokes, fragments, and excerpts – that are autobiographical or commentary, while others are snippets of conversations taken out of context, or drawn from cultural references.
Oh and for good measure, I have included some other work as well.
