HUMAN CANVAS
HUMAN CANVAS
My personal emancipation came through a series of three stages; the first being an incident where I was lost in the mountains surrounding Kitimat, BC at the age of sixteen years. The abuse had escalated just prior to this ordeal, but it came to a full-stop after I was able to find my way back to civilization. My encounter with a bear during this episode only served to foster an indelible pull towards the wilderness.
The second stage was when I chose to tell someone about the abuse as a young adult, risking this vulnerability is an essential step for any victim. Being naked, as opposed to "nude," is a state of vulnerability as a human being, so it was the fitting choice for this body of work.

The third stage on my healing journey was when I discovered my creative voice. Despite repercussions within my life, staying true to this authentic voice was necessary, as it is for any artist. My fascination with the human figure, the face and the narrative within them is endless.

Everyone has a novel within them; I consider it my duty and honor to share some of this beauty.
