Intaglio Etching Collage on Mulberry 22x30"

This piece is a collage of multiple intaglio prints of the same face. The same copper plate was burnished and re-carved each time, so that remains of the previous face would show through to the next. This conglomerate of facial features disorients the viewer and makes them wonder what this individual's face truly looks like.

Intaglio Prints with Mesh and Yarn

This piece is a series of intaglio prints printed from the same re-carved copper plate. Within one semester, I took time to redraw my face over and over and try to etch them continuously onto one plate. Each print has the remains of the last one, making for a confusing, non-realistic description of what I really look like. This concept is based on ideas of body dysmorphia and finding it hard to understand what your face truly looks like.

Collage and Mixed Media on Colored Paper 22x30"

​This piece is a playful nod to the Tales of the Crypt comics as I retell moments in my life as dramatic comic book covers. Subtitled "Night of the Living Deadline", this piece is about the crashing weight of college assignments akin to a swarm of zombies. Any aesthetic resemblance to design schools living or dead are PURELY coincidental...

This piece is a continuation of the series inspired by Tales from the Crypt. This cover tells the story of my badass grandpa, who saved our camping group from an aggressive rattlesnake, equipped with nothing but a six foot stick.

Collage and Mixed Media on Stonehenge 22x25"

This piece is an abstract representation of the fifth dimension. 1959's The Twilight Zone calls it "a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind... it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge.

Acrylic and Mixed Media on Colored Paper 22x30" 

This series is about the relationship between lust and feral hunger. The imagery shows a starving wolf staring at the viewer surrounded by lyrics from Hozier's "It Will Come Back".
