Some of my favorite pieces start as jokes. From there, I'm connecting with the process, the materials, and the artists I learn from and collaborate with. Then a piece catches someone's eye. It becomes part of their everyday and gets a life I don't get to see. Creating work is the beginning, but the goal is for people to connect with it. Otherwise, what's the point?
