Artist statement:
Oubliette
The unseen, silently observes.
A liminal half-world plays host to a chimeral reckoning.
Childhood demons long tucked away, return unbidden, commingling with fears for my offspring.
Beauty, grotesquery, tenderness, and violence; this is your safe space.
An uncanny articulation of the inexpressible.
Secreted within a small place of forgetting.
