I don't know if these are my own private thoughts or if they are pulled from a collective feeling of wariness and unease. I think we are all at the mercy of this inner voice, continuously cycling through fleeting musings of uncertainty and indecision. The voice fluctuates between ignorance, action, anxiety, doubt, and ambivalence; it speaks with a level of suspicious skepticism we keep behind closed lips. This series of works presents the often contradictory nature of the inner voice. A marbled black and white surface obfuscate the text, adding to the murky, swirling feeling of this ceaseless, one-sided dialogue.

About the Artist
