Toy series
I have chosen the familiar images of toys as a vehicle to explore self doubt and the idea of
what is normal.  Particularly through the scope of popular media, merchandising and signage.
 They are one of our earliest introductions to commercialized happiness and our self
comparisons.  My intent is to draw the viewer in to the work through the representation of
iconic playthings that cue nostalgic reflection, whether real or perceived.   These images
are often juxtaposed against distressed textures, personal narrative and the promise of
advertisement text.
