Pathologically weird with an intensely graphic imagination, creation has always been my compulsion. Art is my god. Creation is how I worship

I favor sculpture and installation when it comes to creation. I prefer to create what I think the world needs, rather than what it wants to buy. I love to make work that disrupts visual literacy and displaces the viewer from the world of hermeneutic presumption and visual abbreviation to a state of abjection, or force new experiences of nuanced states, such as simultaneously identifying with and against external stimuli.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in mundanity, misunderstandings, communication bypassing, and most importantly, my own dreams and nightmares. I feel inspired also by art manifestos and critical theory. I feel compelled to disprove sweeping generalizations; that inspires me too. Additionally, visions quite actually come to me, whether I’m the shower or the middle of a conversation. I have my antennae raised to the muses; I need only receive their blessings.
What would you do with $25,000?I would execute an exhibition of installation art in a large arena like a warehouse. I would create a dynamic, kinetic art installation involving crashed cars. I would invite fellow artists to add to the show. I would present our manifestations of the zeitgeist instead of selling the same boring paintings as everyone else.
