A Sanguine Mockery

“I am striving to anchor myself in contemporary popular culture using an antiquated process, the relief print,” says the artist. “In my work, the struggle between Carnival and Lent is a mismatch, a pitched battle ending in high jinks.

My work attempts to strike a balance between the ugly and the alluring, between popular culture and the highfalutin, between the sacred and the profane.”
