Mixed media collage with spray paint, acrylic and ink and pencil on paper. I am forever entangled in the what-if scenario. The possibilities are far beyond my comprehension and it’s up to me to make sense of every sound, noise, color, line and shape. It’s the art life and I find that I’m at the top of my game when I’m fully immersed in the process. I write and record music with the same passion for possibilities. It all comes from the same place.
Where do you find inspiration?I’ve studied art history and photography, as well as a moderate consumption of music and pop-culture, but I find that if I start from absolute zero with just a hint of an idea that the inspiration comes from delving into the process of actually doing it.
What would you do with $25,000?…after taxes there world be enough to turn out a whole new body of work. I wouldn’t waste a second at getting started. It’s important that all artists attempt to reflect and comment on the world today and all its inequities and violence. Peace and love through art is the goal.
