Host Relationship (2022)
13”x13”
Screen print and embroidery thread on canvas
Host Relationship explores a relationship between a host figure gripped in horror as he realizes too late that a mushroom-like entity has been growling and slowly eating away at him. This parasite has always been with him silently growing until its host maturity, but with that maturity he realizes that the parasite has altered his body beyond repair. In my life depression has matured and compounded as I have gotten older. I did not realize how uncontrollable it had became until it was far to late for me to contain it.

Ritualistic injury (2021)
Acrylic, embroidery thread & a needle on canvas
This artwork is about the compulsive desire to rip my nails, dead skin, or the skin on my lips off. This often causes small but painful injuries near daily. Despite the injuries I can not help but do it the next day. I wanted to put that frustration with myself into an artwork.

Dissolved (2021)
Screen print on paper
Dissolved encapsulates my feelings of mental fatigue. The figure expels a dark liquid as they are so exhausted the only way to rid themselves of this liquid is painful and difficult. This liquid has a similar star pattern to those floating above the figure, but the liquid has distorted and tainted the original pattern.

Perversions of Self (2020)
Acrylic on canvas
Perversions of Self was painted to embody feeling of discomfort with my thoughts of self harm and psyche. These unwanted thoughts have take on an identity of their own as perversions of my identity. The majority of perversions address the viewer some less intense personifications look away as a way to signal to the viewer they are expressed less in my psyche.

A Golden Star for Those Who Choose to Place it There (2021)

Visit my website: freddyregan.com for more of this collection
This collection explores the relationship between the use of sticker to judge the quality of something and the aesthetic values I place on parts of my body. As I kid I remember being quite obsessed with the value of stickers (valuable to kids but in reality they are extremely inexpensive).
