As a former Catholic, and as someone who even today is not opposed to being called a Christian, I felt I had every right to use the symbols of the Church and resented being told not to.

Oftentimes we love the thing we hate and vice versa.

I have always felt that I am the sum total of my parts.

Being born, especially being born a person of color, is a political act in itself.

I like going to Church for aesthetic reasons, rather than spiritual ones.

I think if the Vatican is smart, someday they'll collect my work.

In my work, I explore my own Catholic obsessions.
