The motivating factor behind my artwork could be described as – ‘being inspired themes from the Constructivist Manifesto to try to access what I perceive to be the essence of any given text or story’, or – ‘I just like drawing pictures’. There’s an equal amount of truth in both of those statements.

Visual communication begins with a problem to solve and then rendered, to portray the story that best fits the users visual vocabulary. Simplifying the statement to it’s bare essence using color, innovative ideas, and composition to convey the message.

I work in both digital and traditional media. I am moved by interesting environments, lighting, people, and the events that surround or directly affect me and thus try to depict those subjects or their essence in my work.

Title: The Cavioliths
Description: The Caviolith mountain range is a curious and oft-overlooked geozoological phenomenon. Despite its unique formations, research potential, and undeniable charm, it is often bypassed in favor of the charismatic Anuran Falls to the south. In recent years, scholars have begun to investigate the Cavioliths in depth, but much of it still remains a mystery; navigation is tricky, and maps must be updated each time one of its formations awakens to wander to a new location. Cavioliths are docile by nature and tolerate human presence. If you plan to visit during feeding season, make sure to bring earplugs to protect your hearing, as pre-feeding wheeking can reach thunderous levels.

Title: Doujiang Youtiao
Description: When it comes to doujiang youtiao, the food itself—a steaming bowl of fresh soy milk and a crispy-on-the-outside-fluffy-on-the-inside stick of fried dough—is of course the main attraction, but the ambience is just as much a part of the experience. To wit: no doujiang youtiao breakfast is truly complete without you almost wiping out as you slide your way back to your table over tiles slicked with decades of fryer oil while a group of a-ma argue politics in a corner.
