Best advice you’ve been givenIf you don't achieve the effect you are going for, keep doing it until you get it right, no matter how many times it takes.

Goals/AspirationsTo create work that is accessible and exciting to a wide audience.

Favorite artistI am a big fan of Natalie Jeremijenko's work because it is interdisciplinary. She uses technology to create work that blurs boundaries between art, science & activism.

What are you readingDigging through back-issues of the New Yorker.

Hope to learn how to Operate a construction crane.

You spend a lot of time thinking aboutWhere all our trash goes, spicy cocktail recipes, get-rich-quick schemes, dumb inventions, sci-fi economies.

Favorite musical artistPhilip Glass, Delicate Steve, Lady Gaga.

What do you do when not creating art Riding my bicycle around the neighborhood, weeding my rooftop garden, teaching printmaking, hustling, Netflix binging.

I create collages with discarded, patterned, security envelopes. Security envelopes obscure their contents. It is impossible to read what is inside, even when they are held up to light. Offset and imprecise patterns create a scrim, which serves as a decorative backdrop to our bureaucratic tangles. I often create images dense with flora, that echo the envelope’s intended use as camouflage to hide private documents.
