Q & A artist
Can you go into the meaning / inspiration behind your tape artwork?
I keep becoming more and more and more intensely aware of just how shit the world is - racism, misogyny, sex trafficking, poverty, corruption in power, mass incarceration, etc. etc. etc., all of it. Just shit. And somehow working with the vibrant color injects a bit of cheer (hope?) into all of it for me. It certainly doesn’t improve it, or necessarily generate any change at all, but it gives me pleasure, and as simplistic as this may sound, the hope is that it will do the same for someone else as well.
