Imagine with me for a moment... a world where satire, rebellion, and self-discovery ignite a Chrome Renaissance known as Rat Bastard University. This is a world built upon conspiracy, love, and power, where autobiographical narratives blend with tongue-in-cheek cultural critiques. Through RBU, I examine the relationships between dominant and subordinate societies, spotlighting the disparities woven deeply into Western cultures and ideologies. Through my queer lens, I tackle the exploitation of low-brow aesthetics for profit, using bold, raw visuals inspired by urban fashion, counterculture, and religious symbolism. This unfolds an electric- often chaotic universe that challenges the commodification of rebellion and subverts traditional ideas of value and identity.

Set in a dystopian future, Rat Bastard University is populated with a diverse cast of characters whose youthful arrogance and thirst for self-discovery drive them on a rebellious journey. The story unfolds as an epic, layering themes of authority, resistance, and the collision between humanity and this new mythical world. My work is a mix of ceramic vignette-like scenes, prints, comics, and large-scale sculptures, each piece contributing to a much larger narrative—a narrative where art, pop culture, and identity converge in a way that sparks curiosity. I invite the viewer into this dystopian realm and encourage them to question societal norms while navigating the complexities of their own existence.

Do you conform to your own boundaries, or will you commit to the world of Rat Bastard University?
