These Thoughts Won’t Last Series
“These Thoughts Won’t Last” is a series of paintings intended to tell stories. The pieces inhabit a place where cultural hybrids and schizophrenic identities are reflected in a constant state of flux. Building a set for these narratives, I insert layers of visual allegory, irony, fantasy, and jumbled imagery. By using these elements, I attempt to mimic the way in which people experience their own fables, creating a place where everyday life seems somehow disjointed yet strangely familiar.
