Statement
My present concern is with spontaneity and being able to capture bits of information from the continuous flow of consciousness. In turn, producing the immediate thought via mixed medium. I’ve recognized my tastes and habits and have pushed them aside to make more room for the fresh. Doing this keeps me unfamiliar with the now, allowing me to act solely as a channel for raw ideas to flow through, and onto any surface available. I'm able to do this because I've developed a great trust in my impulsive, creative intuition. This process of working goes hand-in-hand with my love of different techniques and methods of working. I'm constantly craving new mediums and surfaces to work on. With many projects being developed at any given moment I’m able to keep my hands moving and my ideas flowing.
For lack of a better place to put these links at this stage in the development of the site I've decided to place them here for now and will add to them as I remember them all and will categorize the best I can.
