I create allegories that speak to issues of private contemporary society. The subjects are often therianthropic, or zoomorphic, figures; some animal parts morphing into the human body elegantly, while others protrude instead. They are an extension or form of the “self”, a reflection of identity – not to be confused with spirit guides or totems. The symbolisms created within my work, stem from personal experiences in day to day living, often using animals to signify emotions and reactions in relationships. As with many myths, the characters within my work are not subject to just one gender or physicality. We are witness to the “common” person lifting their glamour to reveal the daemon of our minds. My works are observations and commentaries on daily living through the use of allegory.
