Artist Statement

The goal of the Fellowship of Aesthetic Transcendence (F.A.T.) is to transform aesthetic space into an experience of F.A.T. Space. 
F.A.T. Space is unapologetically extra. It is lugubrious yet structured. It is maximal, yet spacious. Everyone belongs in F.A.T. Space. Kitsch imagery and nostalgic materials invite imaginative play. And through fracturing patterns, blooming faux flowers and frosted mundanities, F.A.T. Space loosens the seams of reality, fantasy and the transcendental. Leaving a moment for physical and psychic expansion – for freedom in feeling fat. Indulgent and bold, F.A.T. Space ultimately represents my physical, psychological and spiritual body unapologetically occupying space.
