My use of color in my paintings, reduce complicated matters of identity to simple elements, much like society does. The tension created between simplistic forms representing complex subjects allows the viewer to contemplate how the presumptions and reactions of others affect how we see ourselves. By compartmentalizing these divisions within a culture, I aim to catch the viewer in some level of profiling and preconception. By this subversive confrontation, I hope to challenge the viewer to question where they stand in the mix and contemplate the depth of one’s own identity.
