Sleights of hand. Slips of the tongue. Diversion and misrepresentation.

 

I’ve always been fascinated by the many ways we attempt to hide, and yet always end up disclosing what we truly desire. But life has the last laugh when we snatch what we desire, however misdirected that desire, and watch it slip through our fingers.

 

We try to negotiate with life—bribe it, fool it, entice it to give us what we want, and sometimes even try to steal it. And what we want most is love. My work explores these choices and desires.
