- Artist's Statement
- Self-reflection is the driving force of my work. This body of work is particularly inspiredby the tender, painful, and dichotomous transformation that I undertook years ago as amissionary, when I replaced my religious naivete with a devastating acknowledgement ofan unwelcome and shameful sexual orientation. Although I have long since come toterms with my sexuality, I still feel compelled to make sense of the shift that took place inmy self-perception, and the part of me that remains trapped between the religious and thesexual.These images consist of self-portraiture, mechanical schematics, instructional diagrams,Internet porn and religious iconography. In collaging these elements together newrelationships are formed, giving these symbols new meaning.
