ARTIST STATEMENT: -
The image of an animal that simultaneously gushes shit and vomit could be considered my “calling card”. It would also seem to act as a metaphor for my canon as a whole; I am overwhelmed by my surroundings, and, in turn, I wish to bombard my audience with a slurry of culture and codswallop.
