I do believe the world is a pretty sad, troubled, and violent place. Maybe that's why I focus on the trouble.

I definitely go overboard on that, but I have a lot more fun writing about the trouble.

I am very fascinated by the idea of hyperbole in subject matter as well as production. I like the idea of going overboard in producing an art piece and I like the way it brings the work away from a meditative space of reflection to a more direct, impactful tool that can compete with the mainstream. I like all these power plays, which have a lot to do with contextualization. In turn, I'm interested in creating crossovers between creative disciplines and in a way in subverting the expected role of the artist in society.
