Artist Statement:
I first started experimenting with this series in 2019, with a 2021 exhibition in mind. At the time, no one knew what 2020 and beyond would look like and as the exhibition grew closer, I started to worry. In the wake of so much global pain associated with Covid-19, violence, environmental disaster, and economic uncertainty, was work like this still relevant? Should I be making serious art about serious issues instead? Then someone reminded me: at present, the stolen moments when things feel normal are a relief and necessary; that art being created just for enjoyment is responsive to these times in its own way. It’s not the same, but it shouldn’t be. It serves a different purpose. These works are silly, irreverent, and absurd. Squares and dots become characters in their own worlds. They move and interact, making friends, getting lost, or just existing as their own little simple selves. It’s hard for me not to find joy in their little antics. I hope you do too.
