Inspiration and Questions

Q&A
Q: What do you want your work to communicate?
A: I want my work to evoke emotions in people, whether its good, bad or indifferent.

Q: What do you want the experience to be?
A: Nostalgic. I want to viewer to make a connection with something even if they don't know what it is yet. Whether they feel connected to a certain piece or the whole body of work.

Inspirations:
My number one inspiration would have to be Johnny Cash. He was a versatile man with dreams and he went out and sought them. I may not of had a hard life like he did and I am still learning lessons about life but he was a very courageous man and went after the things he wanted. I guess in a way I want to be like that too ^_^




Hayao Miyazaki is another inspiration. I love his movies and his illustrations, everything he does has reason, a story and evokes feelings in his viewers anywhere from love to hate to things that make you feel sad or happy.
Cai Guo-Qiang is not necessarily an inspiration to me but I do enjoy his art work. He makes these designs with gun powder than lights it on fire to create his work. Everything is either an instillation or performance art, and its always pretty watching clips of his work.
