Cultural
Sediments
In Cultural Sediments, I construct layered collages on painted grounds that evoke the weathered surfaces of urban walls. Working with repurposed vintage gay adult magazine imagery, I tear, abrade, and stain each element so that figures emerge in states of partial erosion—marked by time, environment, and cycles of removal. This process mirrors the accumulation and decay of cultural memory, tracing shifting ideals of masculinity within the gay community and the persistent nostalgia attached to earlier archetypes of the idealized male body. By translating once-private images of desire into surfaces that recall public urban remnants, the work considers how identity, beauty, and history are continually constructed, circulated, and worn away.”
Urban
Sediments
In Urban Sediments, I create layered collages from photographic fragments gathered in the wild across multiple cities. Through tearing, abrasion, and staining, these images take on the qualities of urban surfaces—accumulated, weathered, and in flux. By extracting and reframing these overlooked textures, the work highlights the quiet, sedimentary beauty of the built environment and invites a reconsideration of what is typically ignored.
Guerrilla
Blocks
Through my Guerrilla Block series, I create images that embody a street-art-inspired aesthetic, blending elements of pop culture, nostalgia, and gay iconography. The work challenges conventions of representation, appropriation, and cultural critique—or, more importantly, simply offers a sense of fun in both its creation and impact.
Each piece features a mix of found imagery and personal photography that is digitally manipulated and collaged together. These vibrant creations are wheat-pasted onto repurposed blocks of wood, finished with black-painted sides, and coated with varnish for a polished look. Signed and numbered on the back, each artwork captures the playful spirit of street art in a collectible form you can bring into your home.
