My father ran a CB radio business. I grew up in a cluttered space that was filled with radios and antennas. It felt alien.

For me, all the materials and objects I employ come from a specific space that's very personal.

Race, class, childhood experience, the books I found on my mother's bookshelf, the albums I found in my father's basement - these things are all part of who I am and will always be a part of my work.

I grew up on a farm where we had one radio station and it was all country.

I was determined to have a spotless house when I grew up.

I grew up in the motel business, and it evolved into hotels.
