"One of my favorite words in the English language is exposure. 
In regards to my work, I love stripping anything to it's core. Working internal to external. Leaving a character or a story threadbare - that is the work that truly thrills/fascinates/drives me.
In regards to my world, I believe the lack of empathy (Note: Empathy, not sympathy. Two very different things, friends.) amongst us all stems from an undeniable lack of exposure. And that's a problem I want to solve.
As an artist, I want to expose audiences to stories that deserve to heard. I want to make people feel exposed and then explore that shared reality. But most importantly, I want to expose myself - true bravery arises from willing vulnerability - and I want us all to bask in that exposure together.
​Only then do we achieve actual empathy. Only then do we form community. Only then can we be human...
and tell one heck of a story.
