Participation

Mixed Media, 2026, 9×12″ inches

Inspired by the Feminist Art Movement, Art History, and the escalated presence of ICE in Minnesota in 2026 as retaliation for the state’s liberal values, this work commentates on the expectations of every day people to exist within oppressive systems, while at the same time, living their daily lives.

This work considers the extreme cases of participation where individuals, public figures, and groups ultimately aim to rise within the bounds of these cruel structures -rather than breaking out of them. How much personal blame can be placed on people who cooperate, while still analyzing the circumstances that informed the decision?

HOA (House of Agony)

Ink on Mounted Linoleum, 2026, 8 x 10″ inches

A constant love, and longing for Halloween, and all that is creepy. Each room houses an item, or animal typically associated with horror media to represent the gnawing want, anxieties, and uncertainties for first time homeownership in modern-day America.

A black linoprint of a house with multiple rooms. Each has a different horror, or creepy element.
