I envision new myths for a post-human future using anthropomorphized animals, archetypes and reimagined mythological creatures from our past. Building layers with cold wax and oil paint mimics the layers of time, textures building, inspiring pareidolic images. Channeling my spirit guides, I allow them to speak new entities into being, that listen to my helpless sadness as climate change unfolds, from the comfort of my lovely middle class life. I’m inspired by the fairy tales of Kiki Smith, the oddness of Louise Bourgeois’ psychological venting, and the honest authenticity of outsider artists.
