Of late I’ve been very interested in looking at my work as contemporary fables. Not only because of their ties to religion and morality, but how the work masks itself as a venting and social critique through being entertaining. Much in the way of the Br’er Rabbit stories I loved growing up, the humor, sex, and general absurdity of the images is played up to counter the in your face aggression of the work’s meaning. The look of the piece, the eyeless facades, the preening grotesqueries, the background as a colored void, it being disjointed, work as an allegory to my own life experiences, and are an overall statement on appropriation.
