In the late 80s/early 90s, I created zines and chapbooks inspired by the album art and gig flyers of the punk and indie music movements. My work today is still influenced by those visuals. This means I integrate past and present in my art to stir nostalgia and familiarity. My work is focused on response to “societal norms”, interaction of nature and city, color & shape, and existential ennui.
