Currently studying Criticism & Curatorial Practice at the Ontario College of Art & Design, focusing on funding policy, microfinance and creative intervention art. You can see my thesis work here.
I'll use Posterous to amass a collection of things around the Internet that catch my eye. Anything that warrants a more elaborate comment can be found on my website:

A little Twombly, a little Pollock, but not at all mere borrowing.
"The process in my work is similar to that of the city. The work builds
its foundation through memory. In order to create a good painting you
must put a lot of history in the piece. With my work the details are
within the layers. Each layer tells its own story. I do everything from
collage, to using charcoal, oil and acrylic paints, pens, markers,
aerosol, etc. I try to step away from myself and imagine the
perspective of other people, the look and feel of other environments
rather than just my own." (via)
