Summary:My work is informed by interests in the quotidian struggle to make a living, attain sustenance, and the strife for survival. Art influences originate from Modernist and Primitivist aesthetics in painting. References to Darwinism, predation, financial-market systems, and anthropophagy are made through the incorporation of visual symbols and use of work titles that develop analogies supporting my views related to societal anxieties in consuming and being consumed by the people and environment around us. The namesake of the Thesis exhibition, this painting depicts a communal group around a fire.
