B.1990 QUEENS, NY
CAUGHT BETWEEN NOLA & NORCAL
Drawing was my first escape plan, teenage runaway fantasy, it was my inner heartbroken drifter needing to leave town again before getting too attached. My practice plays with the romanticism of the figure with the eroticism of the unknown. Largely monochromatic, brown bodies laying heavily in flat black and dusty grey flat planes. Flowing from my Nuyorican upbringing I have developed an inmate relationship with displacement. What first pained became my lust- not fully settled in one place or one particular plane of existence. Face down in a tent in forest, heart an itch from a ground - low life, low brow. Permanence as the ultimate folly.
