“The cycles of generosity and insecurity motivate me. I want my work to be able to communicate something intelligible to others. Almost always I feel that I fail to communicate, so that failure gives me another push forward..”

When doing installation work, I try to show the reproductive and cellular nature of printmaking... to create small components that reinforce a bigger idea and form. Instead of painting a mural on the wall, I print out patterns of paper that interlock and overlap each other to build a mural. This allows greater detail in the larger image and hopefully the viewer understands that the work is about reproduction and dissemination (through publication, broadcast, and graphic design). What are your preferred means for presenting your work? At the moment everything is totally changing. I’ve been making a bunch of original drawings that I may or may not use in prints. I just got a 35mm camera, and I am very interested in analogue photography at the moment, as well as messing around with video in conjunction with print. I’m trying to combine mediums to get my points across. As far as venues for my work, it really depends. My favourite way of selling prints has been to sell from a cardboard box while playing music shows and going on tours as a musician. I appreciate casual interaction around art and love the directness of selling “original” pieces for 5 or 10 dollars, hopefully creating a network and an exchange
