An inner world of curiosities, of humor and distorted reality, enlivens my artworks. Looking at the work, it’s seemingly innocent and joyful; upon a closer look the work becomes darker, but with glimmers of hope. I typically use bold colors to communicate feelings of hope and renewal as well as an intricate system of symbols scattered amongst these images. Black hearts and X’s are used to represent the characters’ inner feelings. The use of windows teleports the viewer into the inner worlds of our characters, known as “The Wibbles.” There is sincerity to these characters as they express a childlike sense of wonder but also find themselves in unpredictable situations. They sit in an in-between space of neither being fully present nor absent, as if in a lucid dream state.
