KEV VON HOLT
My work explores the relationship between myself, and the discourse in current culture. With influences spawned from the eyes of ADHD and anxiety, new synergies are synthesized from both frantic and deliberate dialogues. Ever since I was a child, I have been fascinated by the unrelenting divergence of the universe. What starts out as vision soon becomes corroded into a manifesto of lust, leaving me into a sense of anxiety and chaos , and the inevitability of relief. As intermittent derivatives become clarified through frantic and critical practice, I am then left with a clue to the complexity within my own soul.
