I like to experiment with different mediums, creating music, soundscapes, drawing, painting. Life is art and vice versa. My medium seems to ebb and flow. At times it’s a paintbrush in others a mixing board or guitar.
Where do you find inspiration?Every corner has inspiration. In such a tumultuous time we are living in as of lately art has been more of an escape from reality. Art can be protest as well. Nature is maybe the most inspiring to me although the human condition tends to take over.
What would you do with $25,000?I would buy supplies to create more work, it would allow me to pay my loved ones back for the money I’ve borrowed. After my lover and unborn child passed away 2 years ago, it has been difficult to get back to living a normal life.
