ENJOY IT…WHILE IT LASTS
I construct wry visual allegories meant to challenge people’s assumptions and interpretations of how their actions and beliefs affect the environment.
In this exhibition I equate polar ice to Popsicles transforming this delicious treat into a potent trope for human desire and consumption.Simultaneously, large and fragile ceramic penguins are set adrift as their ecology cleaves and erodes. I am interested in creating a tension between what is amusing and what is grave. I utilize the iconography of popular kitsch in order to subvert constructed meanings and elicit a critique of humankind’s value system. This is done with the desire to identify how what we enjoy and deem comfortable' may not always be in our own best interest.
