Artist‘s Statement
I’m interested in exploring how personal issues that are important to me connect to larger social issues, and I like to dive deep. The three essays I published this past year all took a long time to write because my thinking evolved over a long period of time. I can tell when I’ve got it right by the way my prose sounds, almost like listening to music. When the rhythm of the sentences sounds exactly right, I know the ideas are solid.
