RATS

Rats are typically symbolic of betrayal and doubt. This series was inspired by my creation of a wall-to-wall seven-foot grey rat running across my studio floor and out the door, which in turn spurred the imagery represented in some of the first pieces in the series including, Le Petit Rat est Passé and Rat Alert!.

Using a contrast of colors between bright red and soft grey tones, and a bevy of accessories ranging from vintage colt-45s to bandanas, the rats illustrate a transition from their typical darker nature to one of playfulness.
