A Little Bit About The Artist

Do you think you would survive the backrooms and why/why not?

My work as an artist occupies a liminal space between conscious representation and unconscious influence. Therefore, I would embrace the dissonance created by a space that feels familiar but also uncomfortable.

What’s your favourite scary movie?

Quiet Place.

What’s the biggest influence on your work?

The use of repetition to create a narrative that is often influenced by the darker aspects of human nature.
