Take A Magical Ride Through My Surrealistic Installations And Paintings That Will Make You Question What Is Real

ADVERTISEMENT

The environments that I designed for my current exhibition at the Bellevue Arts Museum in Washington are an invitation to immerse ourselves in the sensory richness of imagery. Paintings are exhibited on large-scale versions of themselves and protrude into our own three-dimensional space, allowing us to participate directly in the surrealistic narrative.

In the installation, ‘Who Left the Kettle On’, viewers are invited to “take a ride” in a three-dimensional teacup and participate in both the artwork’s playfulness and horror. The teacup ride is often simultaneously exhilarating and sickening, not unlike these opposing feelings that we experience when trying to navigate through many aspects of our lives.
