“The most challenging aspect of my own work is learning to let go and be free. My best work usually comes from a piece that I had made up my mind to destroy. When nothing matters, anything goes.”
How did you get started in your career?
I believe that I'm still in the beginning of my career, so it's a bit difficult to pinpoint where it began and how it got started. Everything I've ever done has played a crucial role in the creation of where I am now, as a person and an artist. The entire process felt (and still feels like) a huge whirlwind of trials, errors and risk-taking decisions.
I will say that at OCAD U, I developed the drive to work extremely hard to create the life that I wanted for myself. I spent endless hours in the studio developing my work and establishing the relationships with people that would sustain and support me throughout my career. OCAD U was a launchpad that helped me to make important connections with artists and gallerists.
