 You need to have an outlet to express yourself. Art's important to me because it's my voice. It's the way I communicate with the world, and it's the way I relate with people. A lot of times I won't even know what I'm making until I get into it, and I let the art tell me where it wants to go. If I had to describe my style, I'd probably just show you. I've always been very inquisitive in regards to how things work. I used to take apart old VCRs and alarm clocks when I was a kid just to see what was inside. My art is an expression of my curiosity. What you're seeing isn't always my intent, but the answer to my question, what would happen if I tried this? I'm learning about myself and the world around me. The art is just a byproduct of those lessons I've learned. Resin has been such an incredible discovery because I'm able to jump from a traditional 2D painting to working in that third dimension in one fluid motion. So it's been an amazing resource for my style of work. The opportunity to choose from all the different tools we have now plays a big part in how I create something. Now that a lot of this stuff is within reach, it's about the art you're making, not about the art you can afford. I don't know where I'm headed next, whether it's making a music video or building a piece of furniture. But I hope people walk away from whatever it is inspired to start exploring their own world and for what makes them happy. There's no instruction manual for life, but the answer is up there if you start looking.
