Nature and how we relate to it is the central theme of my work. Fantasy, cultural appropriation, female sexuality and transformation are also a part of my subject. Using a hybrid form of painting, drawing and collage, my work depicts women from the Industrialist era interacting with nature. Collaged photographs of women –sourced from vintage erotica– harmonize with their natural settings, seemingly unaware of the engine of modern Industrialism continuing to destroy the environment. With this theme I hope to address the decadence and materialism of our modern experience, and celebrate the beauty of nature that we must protect.
