Has that made you realize anything profound?
I think that it make me realize things personally that I wouldn’t otherwise think about if I wasn’t searching or trying to make an image. It forces me to personally reflect on what or how I should go about handling my own life or how I should consistently balance my way. It’s almost like meditation.
It’s a choose your own adventure.
It’s that personal sort of outlet. Like that time of the day that you never get where you’re just looking off in the distance and letting your brain process without thinking. It’s like a daydream moment where you’re doing it consciously and trying to find your way to that moment.
Your artwork reflects that. It’s almost like a daydream where all these things are passing through your head at one time.
I like that kind of ambiguity of that daydream state. I like it with these really solidified objects though. Rather than presenting these very abstract paintings, it’s about these very refined characters or pieces living in that moment or abstractness.
So you’re trying to recapture that purity?
There’s just that certain way that children look at the world that’s really interesting to me. As with my personal work, I’m trying to find my way back to that way of making work. To me, with art and producing an image, there’s no wrong or right way about doing it. Why does the process have to be that serious or that labor intensive and mature? Why can’t you just pick up and pencil and start drawing an image because you feel this overwhelming sense of just wanting to create something?
