BUILDING UP FRIENDS FOR HEAVEN
ARTIST STATEMENT
One of the most influential things that has informed this body of work has been the seemingly bad things that have happened to me. The friends I have lost. The new situations I have found myself in. Friends are important to me. When I let someone into my life I let them into my heart and develop a relationship with them that I can’t imagine not having for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, friendships end. People leave. Move on. Go in other directions. Betray you. Sometimes you can’t help it. It hurts. The pain I have felt and the strength that comes from it is why I believe we will be friends in Heaven. In this show I want to express the importance I put on friendships and the anxiety I feel in meeting new people. Because what starts with anxiety can become something you cherish for eternity.
