The Work
Things Aren't What They Appear
When you collect art, you're collecting a mirror of sorts. Inward toward who you hope to be, outward toward how you want to be seen.
I don't want to make a story so concrete that there's no room for you to find yourself in it.
"I like to discover what I'm doing as I go. Being too deliberate causes the work to go flat — emotionally flat."
Comedy on the cusp of tragedy. Don't get lost in the details.
