Take Care is a series of digital collages that explores the interaction between maximalist imagery and the personal relationships that fail to fulfill my desires, emotionally and physically.

My collages are configurations of disparate elements that I appropriate from search engines and image databases that come together to form aesthetically pleasing compositions. I use imagery that expresses my feelings of frustration about relationships.

The fragmented phrases and sentences that litter the collages are from short reflections compiled in my sketchbook. They communicate the futility of my attempts to translate my emotions into words.

I am influenced by Andy Warhol, Ryan McGinness, William Morris, Tracy Emins, and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Warhol's eccentric use of pop culture imagery, McGinness' outlandish color synchronicities, Morris' elegant pattern style, Emin's emotionally charged ramblings, and Basquiat's intuitive approach to art inform my work and provide a framework for the elements that the viewer finds in this series
