What are you working on now?
A new body of paintings, compiling more drawings to eventually turn into
paintings, making one-off zines, trying to balance life/work.
Describe your process - how do you work, and how do you make time to make work? Is it something you're always doing/thinking about?
I try not to force things too much, a big part of my practice is letting things naturally occur. Sometimes I’ll go for weeks or months without drawing/painting, then something will click
and I’ll create a bunch of things in a short amount of time. I always carry around a little sketchbook and draw when an idea comes up. I tend to draw in big social settings as a means to escape conversation because I find it really hard to keep up in a room full of people; this is when I usually get my “best” ideas for compositions for future paintings.
There’s a sense of humour and lightheartedness in your work - do you agree?
