I have, for much of my life, been hyper-aware of alternate modes of being and experiencing. Though I try to lean away from diagnostics, my own alternate mode of being is often labelled 'schizophrenia', amongst other terms you can find in the DSM-V. It is at once paralyzing and freeing and debilitating and blissful and terror and joy. My work, to varying degrees, functions for me as a desperate and clumsy attempt at verbalizing, releasing, sharing, and punishing this experience. I believe any form of language, whether it's the written word or the language of cinema, is useful but inherently tyrannical, so the work takes as many forms as possible in order to fill in the gaps. I hope that at the end of my life my body of work functions as a complete and total understanding of my existence. I am happily devoted to my frenzied way of making art, my love, my family, and my home.
