You start with an idea but then so many things can happen.

I have never been much of a painter.

It's the way life is, I suppose. Whatever happens, you deal with it.

It was part of a financial situation. I could only afford records in thrift stores. Then you could find wonderful things, but now everything is a collectible. I like the recycling idea --using the stuff that people don't want anymore, and make new music out of it. There was an element of looking back and listening to your parents' records and doing something with that stuff. Sort of acknowledging the past while rejecting it at the same time.

The process of editing is what I enjoy most - putting the pieces together and making sense out of them.

Unlike sitting at a computer screen, printing is very direct and hands-on.

Photography is solitary and there are lags between seeing with your eyes and seeing through the lens, and then seeing the image on your computer... I often see things after the fact. So there’s a revelatory quality. And this definitely includes a sense of playfulness, because you’re not sure what the consequences are going to be.
