I tend to stay in one place and become a hermit and not leave. Work, work, work, and collect things, create and curate a space.

It takes me a long time to understand my work myself, so I name them in the order that they're created.

My entire career comes from the power of social media and the way I've utilized those spaces and interacted with people across the world.

Social media is the new way to communicate, the new way to show your work. You don't have to rely on stuffy, traditional, and conservative methods to be able to display your work.

Growing up, I didn't have a family of creatives. I didn't have knowledge that becoming an artist was an option. I'm not from a wealthy family, and when you come from those circumstances, doing art isn't really an option.

I don't like things to be the same. I like things to evolve.

I created my own space, which was called the cave. It was a live/work space in downtown Los Angeles on 7th and Spring. When I lived there it was quite derelict. I got this massive space and half of it was my bedroom and the other half of it was the back room - no [natural] light, all fluorescent lights.
