"The idea of doing something that goes against the normal grain of society and that also reflects creativity and individuality, while encouraging a DIY nature, is a great inspiration to me. Ive always loved the grunge aesthetic of The 90's, and subsequently all things ''gritty'. As I got older, I was also inspired by Early Punk Rock. This music etched a "rebellious anarchists'" vibe into my collage work. Studying punk rock, resulted in a seismic shift in my psyche; I found myself in a creative rapture and my obsession with that era forced me to react in the only manner I know how, artistically. I chose collaging because the act of collage requires the artist to engage the physical artifacts of his or her message in a truly visceral form; the collage gains the ability to reinvent the meaning of the images used and that power of transformation excites me to my core."
