Portfolio > General Hospital Exhibition 2011

In the project, General Hospital, my humorous approach has not changed although the impetus for the work has. A recent series of events in my life has shifted my work towards themes of healing, comfort and self-preservation. While reflecting on the general theme of mortality, certain materials and processes personally spoke to my conceptual concerns. This body of work confronts tragic themes while again exploring the relationship between humor and tragedy.
