An unsung hero in your life?

My mother! She’s now taken up piano and ballet. She always manages to find new hobbies to fully dive into no matter what stage of life she’s in.

Nature or nurture?

I like that nurture is proactive, malleable, and it can be forgiving; because of its ability to effect change, I think it’s more powerful and meaningful.

Best advice you’ve ever received?

To sleep on it. There’s no rush.

What are the underlying influences in your work?

Movies and girlhood. Nostalgia and awkwardness. Or awkward sensuality that comes with girlhood.
