About

I make art because I find an immense amount of joy in the process. Time has no significance or meaning when I'm in the act of creation. Some pieces take minutes, some take months. Rarely have I ever made a piece better by going back to it.

Constant experimentation over the years has taught me that I'm capturing an energy. That energy used to be manic, angry and mostly confused, but something shifted once I stopped drinking and doing drugs. While I never created under the influence, ceasing to ingest toxic thoughts and substances removed a dense layer of fog between me and my creativity. Upon that layer burning off, I stopped chasing and learned to listen more intently.

What drives someone to photograph sites of slave markets, put cheeseburgers in enlargers and record abrasive drone music?

The answer is quite simple — highly sensitive people hear and see things which others can't imagine or grasp. It's why so many struggle with mental health.

We feel everything and most of the time it's too much.

I'm one of the fortunate ones who can use multiple mediums to make sense of the world and how I view it.
