VISUAL ARTIST

Who or what motivates you?
A mix of escapism, boredom, curiosity and intellectual ambition; learning new techniques and exploring new creative landscapes.

Who or what do you value as a great inspiration?
I often lean on the great privilege we have in our time of having access to this great historical library. There are so many inspiring people and works both past and concurrent, so just tapping into that cultural stream and tangentially creating a new line in that flow.

Can you elaborate on a moment in your life where you experienced a change which altered your way of thinking?
There have been several, but the most pivotal came when my transition had reached a point where I was comfortable with being myself. With it came a new sense of maturity and assuredness. A constant fear and insecurity washed away and so much of my potential to feel well, that had been depressed, was freed.

What do you consider your greatest achievement?
Surviving my 20s.

What do you think will be the next biggest technological advance in your field in the coming years?
Tangible Virtuality.

Any young talents in the field of Art/Tech/Fashion you are impressed with?
Yes! UBASM, Jon Sanches and Keely Majewski.
