Life Is Too Short For A Half-rack.

I Was So Happy With My Bow Ties From The Last Kickstarted Project That I'm Back For More.

I Am Intrigued By Inanimate Objects. They're A Piece Of History, Someone's Statement And Ideas Of Life.

My Experience, With Both My Parents, Is That Grief Has A Lot Of Down, Sad Things, But I Was Also Really Emotionally Raw, In The First Year After Each Of Them Passed. Flowers Smelled More Intensely, My Relationships Were Hotter, And I Was More Willing To Risk. I Was Going For It A Lot More. I Was 'unsober' And I Wasn't Playing By My Rules.

L.a. Is So Isolated And Unhip In A Way; It Gives You Room To Figure Out Who You Are And Explore More Personal Stuff.

I Would Hate To Think I'm Promoting Sadness As An Aesthetic. But I Grew Up In Not Just A Family But A Town And A Culture Where Sadness Is Something You're Taught To Feel Shame About. You End Up Chronically Desiring What Can Be A Very Sentimental Idea Of Love And Connection. A Lot Of My Work Has Been About Trying To Make A Space For Sadness.
