When people look at my paintings or sculptures, they may ask why demons? My answer is… Because there are not enough silly demons in the world. They are not just demons, but they are my thoughts and feelings I could never say to “normal” people. “Normal” is a word I define as society’s way of seeing objects and just that one way at looking at them; I also use quotes around normal because normal does not exist in the real human world. My work is about my feelings that I deal with on a daily basis; experiences no words could ever justify and I believe my art can really connect to those hard to explain emotions. Ever since I was a child I was called a monster by adults and I think most children are called such things to make them behave, but by calling me a monster adults made me more unruly. Demons are mostly portrayed as an “it”, they lack the standard gender norms, as do I. Demons are represented as creatures of hate, happy to torture/drag people to hell. In all honesty, my demons torture me through annoyances, and while I hate them sometimes, I still love them as a part of me. Through my work, I see to demonstrate to the world that having demons is not horrible, that the demons one might have around them are just trying to help them survive this harsh reality.
