Head of the Hill, 2021
Acrylic paint & marker on canvas

What would the world look like if imagination ran rampant? What would I create if I was
able to bend reality? These questions are the main drive of my work, I aim to create a landscape
which is based in reality, but warped by my macabre sensibilities. This once fallen tree root,
covered with moss has become something more—an expanded universe from within my own
mind. From the golden-yellow wheat grass to the skull cemetery, every aspect of this landscape
has been warped and molded in my image.
