A visceral, sylvan eroticism.
A visceral, sylvan eroticism.
Chimeric permutations of the wildman archetype–the god Pan, Lucifer, satyrs and fauns; with their many associations to subconscious desire; a primal connection to nature; and deep transformation–coalesce here into a new vision of mythic queerness. One that simultaneously encapsulates fragility: non-normative sexuality as delicate, strange flora; as well as a visceral, sylvan eroticism.
Utilizing a previously established floral-symbolic lexicon, the artist combines motifs from a multiplicity of mythologies to become fae, to become ‘other’, in an act of radical self acceptance.

A trusting step into the wild unknown, metaphorized by a multicultural, folkloric faerie tradition.
Dryadic, orchideal branches erupt, almost painfully, from human features to create cornigerous growths. The devil, the horned god; Jungian symbol of subconscious aberrancy and rebellion, here analogizes the completion of a hard earned metamorphosis through deviant sacrifice.
This work exists simultaneously in physical and digital space.
