Meat Locker serves as an extension of personal experiences with mental processes and examining internal struggle. The visceral collection of paintings features the calamity of vital organic structures in a brash and openly violent spread, capturing the utter confusion and abrasion of the endless battle against chronic depression. I am enthralled by the study of organic systems and bodily functions, as well as how the body copes with physical and mental health. Mental health is unpredictable, raw, and rather extreme, something that I desire to replicate in the collection Using non-traditional materials and technique, such as liquid latex or recycled towel rolls, the series reignites the meaning of my spontaneous process and unplanned result. Meat Locker is intended as a visual representation of how it feels to suppress emotional damage, as the body eventually adapts and grows.
