“My work is really the manifestation of my subconscious mind. There are recurring themes of technology and mythology, intertwined with feelings of transcendence and redemption.
I’m fascinated by words—what they mean, our connection to them, and the attachments we place upon them.
I have always loved stories about second chances. I think that really reflects my story, and the stories of my art.”
