My artwork is a direct reflection of my interactions with my surroundings. I look at the things people glance over and try to find interest in them. I feel that with decay comes a beautiful sense of creativity. Working in many mediums and across numerous subject matters, it all comes back to my physical surroundings and the spaces I move through every day. Steel, brick, concrete and rust are presented to me everyday as I make my way through this city and can't help but be affected by these places. I am not a mirror of what I see but simply a filter for the ideas that are presented to me daily. It is human interaction with our environment that is so captivating, a scribble on a wall or a billboard flashing with neon lights are equal signs of life. It is in this place that we must exist and it is in this place that we must leave our mark.
