MIdTerm Artist Statement

Recently in my work I have been including a lot of organic imagery. This stems from my desire to explore the idea of family and its relation to root systems and growth of plants. A few years ago my grandfather passed away and it made me realize how much influence he had on my artwork and how much I learned from him. This project is about me constructing a different reality within my dreams alongside organic shapes growing up and around existing man-made structures. The projects strsses the idea of everything will return to their original state because of human nature. I myself am able to construct real spaces in my dreams as well as plant the seeds of some of the organic forms.
