In the summer of 2015 I heard a song.
I do not remember which one.
But I remember the feeling: as if someone had pulled my heart out of my chest, turned it round and round, twisted it, showed me what it could really do, then put it back and said — go do it again.
Everything seemed a little louder, brighter, and considerably less predictable.
Somewhere along the way, I made these.
No grand artistic revelation. No carefully planned collection.
Just a rather extraordinary chapter of life that somehow found its way onto paper, canvas and a screen

Wish I Could Make It Easier to Love Me
Sochi, 2015 / Digital art
I was blowing bubbles underwater for selfie. She was reconsidering our friendship.
somewhere around here, the photographs stopped.
Broken Arrows

Somewhere between the beat and the blue, I stopped trying to behave.
Running

And then geography had stopped making sense.
Two languages beginning to speak at once.

Penida 2015 / Ink and colour on paper
Somewhere between Bali, the ocean and a few questionable decisions,
I found myself making images that looked nothing like the places I'd been.
And somehow felt closer to them.
