Cruel Love

The experiences depicted in this series of prints are a journey beginning in childhood. The images are a personal struggle and a search for a healthier life, beyond the fragmented and chaotic existence of living with violence.

The figures in the prints are of a defenseless child or a tortured and twisted adult existing in an alien and often violent setting. The figures are drawn in a childlike fashion or appear disjointed and twisted in their brightly colored environment. It is the unreal and exaggerated world of the circus or cartoons. It is the outside appearance masking a darker nature. It is the softness of a defenseless child and an adult twisted into deformity.
