I made a tin man costume with tin foil and furnace parts because I thought it would help me be more heartless.

I've been very fortunate in my art career. It's something I would never have expected.

The muted color scheme allows the occasional brighter yellow or red to pop out on the wall in a show, which I like.

The process of the body changing and making a whole human fascinates me.

P.I.L. has been a favorite of mine since high school especially there metal box album. The guitarist Keith Levine gets some of the best sounds ever to come out of a guitar. The songs are really free form and experimental and have a heavy dub influence.

I make art primarily for myself and to show my friends so I guess it's important to make art that they can connect to.

I've been very influenced by Inuit art especially some drawings and watercolors I've seen.
