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…

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…

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

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

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…

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…

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…

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

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

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…

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

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…

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

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…

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…

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…

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…

I like the idea of simplifying the human form down to its fundamental shapes, being represented through our absence…

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…

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…

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…
