At this time and place in the world, specialisation is the expectation. I enjoy the freedom of using different media to learn new skills, styles, and ideas. Art is paradoxical: an escape and a point of deep connection. It is a way of exploring the world through tools, styles, and ideas, allowing the communication of inarticulate ideas.
