statement:
combining elements of minimalism + punk attitude, the idea is to [re]mix unmatchable elements + slash boundaries + create a [beautiful]tension between [opposites]:
a sort of “post_postmodern + post_punk + post_rap + post_rave + post_medium + post_apocalyptic + post_existential zen meditation, at times deceptively sardonic + cynical + nihilistic…”
equal parts masculine + feminine, my work emanates from that black void
where the “subversive avante_garde” + “post_altermodern chic” merge; where quantum theory becomes spiritual + meanings + classifications dissolve…
the distortion of context + meaning; layers + layers of information seen + unseen.
i remain fueled by the ironic + powered by black: the most mysterious + powerful + misunderstood color…
