I grew up watching tons and tons of television. It was all I would do, especially during summer vacations.

People act like art is a white thing - or not for people of colour - when, really, so much culture and art comes from people of colour. I want everyone to get into what I am doing. So sometimes I don't like to work just in an art context because it feels like a lot of people aren't going to see it. I like it to be a part of everyday life.

My mum was very interested in art and liked to write, and my dad was a hobbyist photographer.
