Work Description: 
Artist Statement: When I am making work I am trying to be as honest as I can, sometimes to an uncomfortable degree. I explore truths of the human condition so that there may be humor, sarcasm, love, discomfort, and struggle present in the work. Language plays a huge role in my research and practice. The written and spoken word is vital to misunderstanding one another, it confuses and frustrates more than any other language. This thesis addresses the work in Love Notes: I Don’t Care If It Kills You, and how it is concerned with communication and inequality in partnership. // Brief statement from thesis: True equality cannot exist in partnership. There will always be a primary and secondary role to be played, and there will always be passive aggression. When we talk about love we are talking about inequality. Our use of the word love, or babe, or darling, gives liberty to bestow little bits of cruelty on those we say the most tender things to. This work is a collection of the burdens of partnership, and a transformation of the passive aggressive sticky note. I pay homage to the drama, to the initial critical thought that pops into my head, before I figure out how to more appropriately ask someone to do those fucking dishes.
