Stripping off the interface of a project, you see the codes and notes and dips inside.

Artist Statement

My process involves a lot of highs and lows, starts and stops. I keep cycling through hypergraphic manic bouts where I am generating thousands of words and drawings trying to find something, and then sinking into burnout in between those flurries. A lot of this note taking isn't just capturing my research, it's capturing my moods and my fears in the process. It can feel as though I am writing around something, attempting to write myself through something. This sketching and outlining becomes invisible, discarded for newer iterations, or code nestled inside of more audience-friendly interfaces like bones inside bodies. But it is the aspect of the art that I spend the most time with, and it is what I see whenever I look at whatever the smaller, finished package becomes.

When I am burning, my beautiful friends are there to make sure I am taking care of myself. When I am burnt out, my beautiful friends are there to remind me that it is ok to rest.
