I create my sculptures as a way to channel my own emotions into something physical. Something that everyone else can see.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite art to create has to anything that I feel like I can't make. I get this idea in my head and work from there. Try to figure out how im going to make this thing from my brain a reality is one of the best parts.
Where do you find inspiration?Most of my inspiration honestly comes from heartache. It's my way of processing my emotions. Pulling out every bad experience/emotion from within and putting it into something physical is my personal form of therapy. Its proff to myself that you can turn your negatives into a positive.
What would you do with $25,000?Most of it will be used to help out my mother. After all, she was the one that always nurtured my creative side my whole life. The rest will go back into my art. Go a little bit bigger and try new things to push myself pass my creative comfort zone.
