STATEMENT

Mourning and Melancholy

2024


In this recent body of work, I have come to think of each one of my clay chimpanzees as an alter ego. They are not just animals, but are meant to embody the current zeitgeist, mirroring these fraught times. My goal was to create work that was raw and emotive, expressing vulnerability.
