"Iâve done a handful of empty room pieces, each communicating loneliness with a hint of the sinister. Maybe something is hiding in the dark shadows of a room lit only by the night sky, but also maybe youâre just hoping for something to liven up a lonesome lifestyle. The mixture of anxious fear and anticipatory solitude is something I think about a lot. Creating the figures in the shadows so that life can be a little more exciting, and then coming around to fearing those creations. A paranoia ouroboros."
