My work is a tool that I use to deconstruct my feelings about what it means to be human. I use symbols from mythology and modern day urban legends to help provide a narrative to these thoughts. The physicality of linoleum carving and printing helps me to ground me during the artistic process as well as giving me access to the symbolic language of medieval and Japanese woodcuts. The carving of the block evokes a visceral sensation of separation, as I try to explore the sociological and philosophical separations between the self and others.
