Biography

I am an artist who uses the medium of photography to express my societal thoughts. In the same fashion as dada and surreal artists before me have used common knowledge to express an idea, I use stereotypical concepts to display an interesting, and at times comical, occurrence. The things we are introduced to on a daily basis play a very large role in our memory. My work plays into the memories and rememberences we collect. Because our memories are not congruent we are left with choppy idealistic thoughts of what we think is correct, and not necessarily what really happened.
