Artist Statement
My work aims to explore glimpses into childhood nostalgia, using acrylic paint as my main medium. This current body of work focuses more on the idea of the micro advertising I saw as a child in Brooklyn going to different supermarkets and bodegas with my mom. If you’ve ever been to the snack ale then you’ve seen tons of orange price tag stickers. The paintings are based on several books of stickers that I have collected over the years. In an attempt to bring the strangeness of all the decisions that went into them I began recreating them larger on canvas.
