Portraying whispering moments to challenging paradigms of social mobility through mixed media and collaborative art.
MessageJuly 2020, the U.S. recorded what was at the time the highest single-day rise in COVID19 cases anywhere in the world, with 77,638 infections. I became evermore nostalgic, remembering when I was always a companion of my fathers expeditions. He was an enterprising man, once traded a boat for an ice cube machine so he could drum up sales from the carnies who rolled in annually. We lived on Fair Street directly across from the amusement grounds, and we would bag ice up, run it over and barter for rides. Pop put us to work which gave me bargaining power, and it felt good.

For me, creating has always been a companion, allowing me to make sense of seemingly uncontrolled situations through controlled mediums.
