influences

utilizing the power in satire and reclamation of themes, i work my experiences in studying art history into the creation of my art through my stylistic and thematic influences from futurism and constructivism. though the former possesses its own oppressive political connotations, it also came with the association of speed, movement, technology, and the future of mankind alongside it - and that is what i aim to draw from mainly within my work, with the fascistic tendencies of futurism satirized into a reclamation of power by queer forces.

constructivism serves as a broader stylistic influence, with the associations of utility in art being drawn from more conceptually as i explore the ideas of the intricate art of technology and its interaction with mankind. this style is primarily echoed in my biggest artistic influence, aidan hughes, the man behind BRUTE! who for over 40 years has created almost all of the album cover artwork for industrial band KMFDM, tying into my general themes of the intersection of musical identity and visual art expression.
