There's something really great about being an artist and experiencing a time where you can work without influence. I am experiencing that pleasure right now and exploring what it is I would like to focus on to amount a body of work that is unrelated to my last 7.5 years of pained life. My artworks of the last years have been quite erratic subject wise. Certainly nothing like the bodies of work (pre [...]
