Intrinsic Narrations uses materials that are manipulated and combined in varying degrees giving costume to the primal forms that take harbor within my subconscious’s landscape. These works, in large part, use diverse assemblages of remnants, cast-offs, and general sub-building materials as a key parameter in determining the form’s conceptual and physical resolution from a subconscious, unresolved development into some level of a conscious state. The level of resolution in these works, again, is greatly dictated by the materials ability to be juxtaposed and integrated together. The specific unfinished or tapered nature of these forms directly gives influence to the level of physicality that was possible at that moment. Some forms are surreal, fleeting sketches and thoughts, barely tangible and coherent in this waking consciousness. Others have a commanding physical presence that brings the subconscious state crashing into our waking consciousness — establishing themselves as a forceful metaphor to our existence.
