That being said, I think that a lot of my work is archival in nature. A majority of my pieces, in some way, document an intimate story, a character, or an environment. I want to create iconography for my contemporary story. It's important for me that I articulate these mythologies or stories because, in the process, I think I'm making peace with that memory or character for myself. Even if I'm just alluding to a personal story within this warped, romanticized world, there is still an experience grounded in reality there that I want to understand more. I tend to dissect characters or environments by making fun of everything. There's still a lot of romantic theatre to be found in even the most dreary moments here. %G eng %[ 2022-06-01 %~ Tufts Digital Library %W Institution
