I create art with hopes of working progressively towards a more sustainable tomorrow, within the realm of innovation, and society as a whole
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Architectural Design is my forte, however, I simply desire to help anyone and everyone FEEL - at a minimum the smallest amount of - more-alive for experiencing something that I have created. I would hope they enjoy the 'more-alive'ness. #Honesty
Where do you find inspiration?Within the entirety of the world, regardless of how "average" something and/or someone might be. A chair for instance - I center it in a space and place myself around it, like the numbers on a clock. At every one of the hour marks, I try and perceive that chair through the lens of a different type of professional, one of whom might have been involved with the making of that chair... a Furniture Designer, Carpenter, Architect, Interior Designer, Product Designer, Textile Fabricator, etc. #Inspo
What would you do with $25,000?I wish I could be more poetic here, perhaps one day I might be in a place where I could simply donate this amount of money to a proactive cause for the betterment of humanity, Unfortunately, I am in a place where that isn't possible and therefore I would use it so as to ensure a more financially secure future for the loved ones around me and myself. #Humble
