In my thirties, I have felt a greater urgency to make art that highlights what it feels like to be racialized, likely due to living in a country that obscures our racism with the idea of "multiculturalism."

I am always hesitant to call myself an activist, mostly out of respect for the activists who are using their bodies and voices to protest or activists online who are constantly engaging and educating others.

I always work with text orally in the writing process, saying passages aloud to measure flow.

I would love to see more dialogue around the "responsibilities" of art consumers - how can audiences better financially support artists we love, artists who are doing the work, so that artists have a more solid foundation upon which to make art?

I worry about what Trump will inspire in Canada, especially given incidents that have already occurred here since the election.

I have always considered the aesthetic of a project, including press photos, as a means to further the message of the art itself.

As a brown artist, I have mixed feelings about my relationship to art and my "responsibilities" post-Trump.
