My artistic practice began to grow when I realized I did not know who I was as a person. I could not even pin down a favorite color, let alone talk about my emotions and thoughts. It was through my artwork I began to align me with myself. Through this process, I have realized how much humor plays a role in my life. Humor, no matter what, is intertwined into my work. Whether it is through witty text, color choices, or purposeful situations, I cannot see the world without this filter of jokes. 

My own personal definition of humor is best explained through the word farce which is loosely defined as an absurd event. In comedic terms it is usually shaped by improbable situations and horseplay. A string of absurdness is relevant in all aspects of my life so it is only appropriate that it is in my art. Making each part of my day fun and exciting I feel is part of my practice. Farce is a filter in which I cover parts of the world and reflect them back in a way I would prefer them to be seen.

The idea of the Ready-made by Duchamp has always fascinated me, and is a constant theme throughout my work. Using text itself is a ready-made, but I also turn towards consumer-based products and products of the world that are already integrated with text and language. 

Humor also plays into my process, as I fumble and fool around with new material and different processes. The act of learning something new and allowing for mistakes is reminiscent of situational humor, where you see me fumbling through a process and a situation with the end results being a comedic approach to life. Because of this, I often have my fingers in a variety of mediums that are all in conversation with one another.
