My inspiration comes from the struggles immediately around me, what my friends and comrades are involved in, whether fighting against rampant displacement, or for racial justice in our schools, or against militarization and recruitment, or for bodily autonomy. I’m inspired by young people moving in our modern cellphone social media world and at the same time showing up to farm in a plot of land in the Excelsior, creating new worlds that combine both experiences. All these stories spark associations with images and poetry that turn up in my sketchbooks and then in my artwork.
