“Si es absolutamente necesario que el arte o el teatro sirvan para algo, será para enseñar a la gente que hay actividades que no sirven para nada y que es indispensable que las haya.”
–Eugène Ionesco

todo lo que el humano hace
Qué miedo tan idiota ante la muerte, es lo único digno de estudiarse en esta vida…
-

Todo lo que añoro
Apareció por detrás de la imponencia del edificio de una manera tan fugaz que de repente toda premeditación sobre la foto carecía de importancia…
-

Formas
Empecé a fotografiar todo lo que para mí podría ayudarme a impulsarme a hacer algo nuevo, empecé a fotografiar muchos edificios que luego los convertí en ilustraciones abstractos…
-

What I Used To Be
I was intentionally trying to work with only two or three images in order to tell a story or express an idea. This was one of the first artworks that I created that worked immediately and I knew didn’t need any more thought…
-

Free Spirit
I feel more like a midwife delivering a baby when it comes to songs. It’s like they exist somewhere in the ether and I just have to be shape and form them…
-

Egg
Representing the everyday is a common theme in most of my works, and taking time to make very transient things, like food, more permanent…
-

Hold
While my creative drive is the tension between self and technology, this print speaks to a moment of anxious self-soothing to me…
-

Glitch
I was influenced by Optical Art and glitch photography. The theorist Hito Steyerl has some great writing on the poor image that was inspiring to my process…
-

King St
The carved ‘noise’ marks mimic the textures of the buildings and the tags that decorate them. It wouldn’t be as successful if I had attempted to control the marks and replicate the details through illustration…
-

Untitled
I find the process of painting and printing like this quite relaxing and cathartic – I think of some random words, and before I can let them settle I put them onto paper…
-

Ruby Gill at The Evelyn
I can feel the emotion that Ruby puts into her songwriting through this image. Her expressive face mirroring the moments her music manifests…
-

Alongtimealone
Simply painting freely, with no preconceived idea or direction. It then became a meditative process and pure act of expression…
-

Saw You at the Record Shop Today
I rarely like anything I do, that’s why I keep making songs, trying to make the perfect one. I need to move on from a song quickly and rarely revisit them. I assume they are full of mistakes…
-

Nueva Era
Con todo y todo, puedo decir que me tocó vivir en un momento emocionante para la historia de la humanidad…
-

Home, Hold, Trace
This ritual was instrumental in helping me process emotions through a complicated time, but also as a way for me to calibrate my own bearings in a city that was still very new to me…
-

burnout city race
Forgetting about all the photos I take cause it’s on film. Getting them processed and mostly being surprised good and bad…
-

home (a memory)
I made this drawing quite quickly, so the marks are fast and expressive, not over considered or second guessed. There is a rawness to the work I enjoy…
-

Lucy
On the first studio day, the song sounded more like a garage rock song, but on the second day we made some changes like adding a bunch of reverb, delay and acoustic guitars to give it more of a dreamy vibe…
-

Untitled
I wanted to try and stay super loose and just let the paint feel it’s way around the canvas. It was more of an experimental work in progress that never made it to the public. That happens a lot in my practice…
-

Abbie
It was a hot summer’s day. We walked around talking about music while looking for a nice area. I remember I was surprised that Abbie knew about Hundred Waters, one of my favourite bands. So I ended up playing their music during this…
-

The Stabbing House (self-portrait)
I like the idea of simplifying the human form down to its fundamental shapes, being represented through our absence…
-

the evening after, in a hole
It was my first time shooting Fomapan Retropan, so I was really excited to see how it turned out. I enjoy the experiences surrounding the photograph more than the actual picture taking really…
-

Rainy Day Daydream
We all live so far apart from one another, so the creative process is often limited to sending voice memos and messaging lyric ideas to one another…
-

Inheritance Series
This piece represents a new direction for my work and an exploration of symbols, food, ritual and memory that make connections to shared cultural heritage within the Armenian diaspora…
-

Schönbrunn Palace
I was on holiday in Vienna, walking around endlessly with a broken toe. I think I ended up taking more photos than I would normally just as an excuse to stop and stand in the shade for a while…
-

Picnic at the Seaside
I had this romantic idea that I would go hiking and sleep in the wild all by myself but then it all turned out to be a bit of a disaster…
-

Angel Grindr
I get inspiration from all over the place, it’s often subconscious and I just point and shoot…
-

I See Colors
Adding layers and text brings so much depth to a piece of mine. I just let my mind expand, I don’t have a certain plan or outcome when it comes to any of my pieces…
-

Be Silent
Troy wrote this song back in 2019 when the Australian Bushfires were happening and it felt like it resonates well with it. When he presented the song to the band, we were really taken by…
