My work ๐Ÿฐ invites viewers ๐Ÿค— through the looking glass of reality ๐ŸŒˆ down the rabbit hole ๐Ÿ˜ˆ of my personal ๐Ÿ‘„ psyche, a dreamworld ๐Ÿญ otherwise known as ๐Ÿ”ช ANDiLAND. ๐Ÿงจ Working in several media, my campy paintings๐ŸŽจ, kitschy sculptures and mischievous โœจ videos create a whimsical ๐Ÿงจ๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿ’‹๐Ÿ’—๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’‰๐Ÿฉ wonderland ๐ŸŒธ of immersive sensory overloads. ๐Ÿ‡ I explore ๐Ÿ’„ the idea of sex and violence โš”๏ธ through the lens of popular culture ๐Ÿ’˜ utilizing the language of ๐ŸŽ‰ entertainment & simulacra.
