02.14.22

from the archives: i think this is one of my first collages! lyrics from “nobody” by mitski

early experiments w/ collage using lyrics from one of my favorite bands, fall out boy! (songs are “disloyal order of water buffaloes” and “xo” respectively)

collected guest checks to create a collage about being misgendered at a customer service job

used magazine cut-outs, acrylic paint markers, and wallpaper to explore the idea of a bedroom becoming a stage when one’s identity is a performance

rendered a self-portrait w/ colored pencils on black paper + created a puzzle piece collage to explore the idea of a fractured identity

explored grief of a family member through a depiction of a funeral scene w/ a limited color palette and surreal religious elements. inspired by “where’d all the time go?” by dr. dog

experimented w/ perspective, desaturated colors, and line weight to explore the restrictive + obsessive nature of disordered eating
