You have long been investigating subculture in your practice. Did art or music come first and when?

My love of art and music reside on a non linear timeline. They arose mutually at a young age and I owe an equal debt of gratitude to each.

What did you work on with Secret Bones?

A few years back Caleb, the owner of Sacred Bones, asked if I was interested in releasing a book through their label. Misophonia, a 200 page art book, was released about a year or so later in 2018. I’ve also created the album artwork for some of their artists, namely Zola Jesus and Daniel Davies, as well as merch and some other random visuals here and there. Much love for Sacred Bones.

Tell us about your current show in No Gallery in LA.

This show was initially scheduled to open in June. Due to Covid No Gallery had to close their brick and mortar location in Los Angeles and the show was cancelled indefinitely, but despite this I decided to finish the body of work I was in the middle of as if it weren’t. Once that body of work was completed I crashed hard. I had an existential crisis of sorts, I moved, and was mentally at one of the lower points in my life. When that period slowly subsided I began to work on new panels which turned out to be the Shifted series (the waving chandeliers.) Doing so restored some confidence and joy into my practice and coincided with Casey, the director of No Gallery, hitting me up asking if I was ready to do a pop up. Initially I said no, not wanting to deal with Covid restrictions, but warmed up to the idea in a matter of days and quickly became more stoked to do an exhibition than ever before.
