Screenprints


Murder Your Memory


Inspired by the Title Fight song, I wanted this print to capture the idea of a "mercy kill" of a fleeting memory. The photo, taken from Montauk's lighthouse, shows two figures walking away, framed in shadow and light, evoking the bittersweet parting of love and the choice to "kill" a memory before it turns sour.






Cure for Pain is  in Pain Itself


Another song inspired print, this time from the band Morphine. Cure for Pain reflects on the idea that pain itself can be a cure—a theme reinforced by the endless cycle of a fishhook feeding into an IV, both sustaining and harming the fish’s life. I've long been intrigued by the image of a fish impaled on a hook, caught between the pain of hunger and the pain of the hook. Is "cure for pain in pain itself" just a harsh reminder that pain is inescapable, an ever-present part of existence?





I AM ?


Scantrons played a big role in shaping our path when we were young, determining test scores, grades, even our sense of worth. To be honest, I was never great at tests and often found myself doodling instead when I didn’t know the answers. This interactive print opens up a lighthearted conversation about breaking free from the choices and limits symbolized by the scantron. It encourages sketching beyond the lines and outside the bubbles, a reminder to express who we truly are, unconstrained.
 



Beat Me Out of  Me


This is a reduction print inspired by lyrics from Nirvana’s Aneurysm. The line “Beat me out of me,” repeated over and over, felt like a relentless struggle to release something deeply ingrained yet hard to let go of. It also suggests that becoming your best self sometimes means pushing yourself hard, almost "beating" yourself into the best possible version, striving to bring out the strongest "me" from within.
