Although I have been putting my creative focus into more commercial work currently, here's what I like to explore when making art for myself:

Through the collection of reflections, overheard conversation, inner monologue, recollected memories and observational drawings, I try to articulate everyday experience through the lens of an anxious mind. Gathering others' words and conversations alongside my own and transforming them into a public, visual diary, creates an open-ended narrative and reflective experience for both myself and the audience. There is no start and no end - pieces are reworked and recycled, brought back to life, intertwining past and present to explore the shifting of identity and memory.

Hiding the full context of my inspirations removes the distinction between my words and others - whether from private interactions, overheard conversations, or phrases stolen from tv, film, music, and the news. These tensions reflect the battle I face between the need to create and the contradicting fear of exposure and honesty To break through these barriers, I reminded myself that: Nothing happens in the comfort zone.
