Things disappear.
Sometimes things disappear as the result of an accident.
Sometimes neglect causes things to disappear.
Sometimes things are intentionally made to disappear.
One's understanding of disappearance is the result of a specific perspective. In reality, most things do not disappear they simply transform. When they are transformed beyond recognition they are said to have disappeared.
My recent work revolves around notions of cultural consumption. I intend to create a tension between what is fun and what is grave in order to pose fundamental questions about the consequences of overconsuming. I employ humor and metaphor to simultaneously disarm the viewer and challenge them to evaluate the larger implications of our culture's habit of making things disappear.
