The Garfield Project, 2025 - Ongoing
A personal, large-scale installation project in which Garfield is the main subject and the stand-in for myself, reflecting on the language of music, iconography, and the potency of cartoon mascots in making the unsettling and revealing more digestible. Over 250 drawings, prints, paintings, and sculptural self-portraits were produced for this project.
