From sex to saints and their artifacts, art, women, children, money, and commodities, we place power in that which is unknown, misunderstood, unattainable, or changing. I focus my work on this fetish trend. When I work, I think of martyrs, saints, the power of faith, censorship, abjection, mechanization, and spirituality. I'm intensely influenced by African art, art history and religion, and I consider my pieces to be representations of misunderstanding and miscommunication. The physical and occasionally violent nature of my work lends itself to a reconsideration of what it means for an object to have power, and how that power can be destructive, subversive.
