Suburban Mayhem
The Project strives to present unique realistic suburban and family setting, using high technical knowledge on a large scale production.
The concepts developed from confronting scenarios based upon real life murders, to a point of impact, into a constructed candid moment, using commonly known events and some family situations. The work is a replica of reality using the appropriate location, set up, costume, characters and lighting. The events are a complete contrast and contradiction the meaning of family and relationships. With a sense of familiarity, exposing the most unlikely of situations and unexpected chaos. Presenting only one in between moment during the scenario, leaving the events occurred up until the captured moment full of possibilities.
Totus Fractus Recreatur
"In order to recreate yourself, you have to fall apart."
Wonder Woman is an iconic figure known for her personal strength, will power and confidence to handle any situation.
The work depicts part of her personal discovery. When things don't come together as planned. It is not until you have hit rock bottom, you are able to pull yourself out to demand a positive and influential change.
Using the iconic representation of Wonder Woman shows that not every successful person has always had it together.

Nude Dead Women 2008
The work depicts the vulnerability of women through the use of nudity, and murder.
The presence of nudity in the work confirms the subjects sexuality, vulnerable to abuse of their role in the life cycle as procreators, the work produces a true confronting reality.
The work explores the women’s vulnerability as sexual objects until discarded through murder.
The work constructs a scene that can be based upon reality and fantasy, it invites the viewer to question and explore the possibilities of the narrative.
Body as a Canvas 2008
Using the human body as an empty canvas and building around it, creating new skins, using the nude or partically nude body as the main medium.
Concentrating on details of make up, hair styling, body painting, costume, exuberant locations, scene/settings, atmosphere and expression.
Welcome to Wifedom 2007
The Work surrounds the dilapidated idea of marriage in modern society, the distant, effortless and broken relationship between the husband and wife. Explores the next level of progress in the married relationship, each individual role of the family.
Dumped furniture, a construction site, and a demolished house, are all continuously being reconstructed and torn apart. These locations are a major part of the image's story, the family has work to build upon the roles and relationships of each member, they are continuing their dysfunctional behaviors and deconstructing the roles and relationship within the family.
Unconscious Dreams Faces 2007
I like to think that the dreams are confrontation of the truth or memories long passed. These works are characters that represent the confrontation of truth that appears in the dreams.
Deliberately eliminateng any significance of time, no specific era, space or location. The characters are not identified as normal human beings or there be any insight into their personality. A new or different 'skin' to displace and objectify the characters.
All make up, hair, styling, body/face paint is created by myself.
