Art making is a way of thinking. It is a conversation that I am having with my subconscious mind and by extension my viewers.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
The work I make is centered on manifesting and making visible the things of my dreams and imagination. Most recent mediums have been rubber, paper watercolor and ink. This has led to tattooing my own sculptures and making objects that come out of my drawings to confront the veil between realities.
Where do you find inspiration?My dreams are a major source of inspiration. I have made my own tarot and oracle decks that are comprised of a basic vocabulary. I consult them regularly alongside my dreamscapes to find direction in the work.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in insulating and heating my studio. I would also hire a agent to help me grow the reach of my art.
