ARTIST'S STATEMENT

Throughout transitions in recorded human history, playwrights entertain with works that use their relevant, world paradigms to highlight the tumultuous effects they have on character's actions and emotions. This ability to tap into a "collective psyche" and create a mirror-world of fiction, while actively embracing our temporal reality, is a salient feature of my work. I explore hypotheses posited about human nature, then enforce models of communication, or miscommunication. These serve their end as a way of weakening the façade and connecting the audience to their own instincts, ethics, and morality. I do this without discounting the deliciousness of drama. Afterall, the opportunities within changing ideologies, examinations of constructs, and the effects of a massive technology boom - something that uniquely affects us all - are worth a creative interpretation that boasts intensity.
