“I started to hustle while in school and that really helped me. I applied to as many exhibitions as I could. I got rejected just as much as I got accepted.


What do you enjoy most about your work? What is the most challenging aspect of your work?

I work pretty slowly. I think about everything constantly. I have folders of images I find online. I spend way too much time on Pinterest. Deadlines are really helpful for me. I start really ambitious projects and always think I can do them on my own, but invariably I need a second pair of eyes. Being in school again right now is exactly where I need to be. I am experimenting with new things I have never done before due to the excellent facilities at Concordia. The last photo I made was in the Winter, and it was roughly 6ft tall by 23ft long. It took a lot of me to do, so I haven’t taken a photo since, but that to me is sort of liberating. 

Currently I’m working on a number of very hands-on sculptural projects. They are related to the photos I’ve already made - still the same ideas - just different ways of dealing with them.
