ARTIST & MIRROR MUSE

I love the hypo-realistic medium of magazine clippings, and sneer at the normalization of “extreme” beauty like looksmaxxing. I look for ways to stretch fashion and beauty closer to  the human experience and to allow them represent aspects of life lesser portrayed on the magazine pages, like human suffering, the struggle for honest self-expression, and self-awareness. 

I like to use what I call "ugly beauty" to highlight the tension of innocence against hardship that pulls at seams of social discourse. 

I also love the hunt of finding ways to make thought provoking confrontations creating beautiful discomfort, disgust even against beauty so that the true naked shared experience can share a common thread yet also look miles apart.
