In the Bright Colors for Bad Days series, I have produced 56 images for a full working card set (52 suit cards, 2 jokers, 1 decorative backing, and a cover) that highlights the worries of the contemporary world. The diamond suit illustrates environmental issues, the club suit illustrates societal issues, the heart set illustrates healthcare concerns, and the spade set illustrates concerns revolving around war and government. The cartomancy meaning of each card is illustrated in glitter marker and neon reactive ink, and the viewer (or player) is meant to deal out their hand or play a game with fate with the working poker deck. All the illustrations have underlying tongue-in-cheek references and form humorous yet grim associations when paired with their cartomancy meanings.

My other paper constructions revolve around North American cultural studies and phenomena in the United States. They illustrate contemporary issues and often reference things like myths, proverbs, and my personal anxieties. I am neurodivergent and my drawings are often heavily overworked and detailed to reflect the way I process the environment around me. I use symbolic images throughout my work to communicate ideas. These symbols allow for a visual storytelling and word play that often incorporates sarcasm and unexpected associations. In the deeper 3D constructions, I also include hidden illustrations that can only be revealed through certain vantage points.  All these tactics allow me to communicate an idea, event, or feeling that the viewer gets to participate in as they are navigating through the piece.
