Artist Statement
An image of a microscopic cancer cell is what first intrigued my interest in the investigation of disease. It was saturated with color and I questioned how something deadly could be beautiful. In the works development I take into consideration the beauty I saw in the microscopic image and the grotesque effects of cancer’s invasiveness, such as tumors and attempt to bring those things together in order to have the viewer be attracted and repulsed simultaneously. My intent is not to literally depict a disease. I want the work to be a presence in the space—an invasive entity
