Continuing my explorations of the concept of home, I build upon this idea by constructing domestic interior settings that unrobes our performative nature presented to society and exposes the intimate and private moments that occur behind closed doors. In this exhibition I present jarring juxtapositions, commanding portraits, and sumptuous scenes of spliced reality. Extracting components from family photo albums, vintage magazines, and found imagery the seamless fragmented layers delve into themes of gender roles, representation, sexuality, identity, relationships, and racism through the artistic medium of collage. Behind closed doors entangles viewers in a seductive web of self-examination begging to ask the question who are we when no one is watching?
