Some days turn out like that. And just keep turning like that.

I paint on people.

As the NYT puts it, “Think of it as a Van Gogh — that is, if one of his paintings were brought to life as a performative protest."

I take a traditional concept from art history, making a painting feel so lifelike that it could be mistaken for reality, and flip it on its head. I make the world my canvas, transforming real life into a work of art.
