We Got Here Under False Pretenses is a painting-based show exploring the obfuscation of forms via covering, resulting in multi-layered, illusory facades. Human bodies and consumer goods are ensconced in pattern and color, emphasizing their inherent banality while simultaneously enshrining and transforming their visual structures of identification as a way of critiquing the perception of value. Through the lack of a reveal, it is left unknowable which cloaked forms contain commercial/societal value, challenging our perceptions of what is real/unreal, valuable/valueless. //
