life + art

I have been seriously stressing over the past few weeks about this artist lecture I needed to put together for a colloquium. The lecture was this evening at MSUM, and I finished this video at 5am this morning (luckily I’m in New York gained a few hours to complete it for a Midwest deadline). 
I really love talking about my work, but I was so nervous to put this together. Sometimes things are hard for me to put into words — here is my best effort to talk about life + art. Enjoy.

Heidi and I are working on a little collaborative project right now. I was sketching something for it and she looked at my work and said, “It’s funny, your drawings still look the same as they did growing up.” Which made me feel slightly odd, because I’ve been through five years of art schooling without improvement to my sketching! Oh, well.
School = less than a week = me trying to accomplish a lot of things in a little amount of time!
