Artist Statement

As an artist I explore the subjects of: sexuality, food, politics, power, and identity.
In my most recent body of work Dairy Queen, I examine how we visually
experience the desirability of the body through a series of oversized phallic food
sculptures and performance photography. With this work, I am interested in
focusing on speaking to the taboo of male gender self sexualization through
the appropriation of absurd alternative sensual signals such as public flaunting of an
ice cream cone.
