Artist Statement:

Drawing influence from post apocalyptic folklore and Western survivalist culture, my practice examines the irrational fears, macho fantasies and general overkill that increasingly populate narratives of late Capitalism. TEOTWAYKI focuses on the physical and textual language of shelters. The cabin in the woods, the bomb shelter, and the “When the Shit Hits The Fan” retreat symbolize both the hyperbole and paranoia that exists on the fringes of Western societies, while at the same time symbolizing the cultural and intellectual bankruptcy at the core of our postindustrial, postmodern world order.
