Blurring the line between the highly personal and broadly political since my artistic inception, as silentPANIC, I work semi-anonymously as a means of self-protection / self-preservation in a society which is deeply divided and even more judgmental.
Fueled by a bizarre combination of deep anxiety and a super-strong self-confidence which has only developed and grown with age and hardship, I believe art is meant to be seen. To communicate. To make the viewer feel and/or understand – and do to so in ways that may sometimes be uncomfortable. Art, for me, is meant to affect change. And it seems with each passing year, that change is more desperately needed in order to survive.
I hope you follow along with my process in time, as the work is created and at its most relevant. Follow my stream of consciousness. Follow thought & human emotion, as a human artist makes way through the broader world.
