What do you do?
I make graphic artworks on paper. My aim is to interpret and provide comment on the world as I see it. I try to hide my work’s meanings in allegory until they're almost unidentifiable. I work with collage, inks and prints.
When did you get into it?
I think I've always communicated better through drawing and making art. It's an independent pursuit and I think everybody should have their own; whether it's drawing, reading, walking, we all need a natural and cathartic way to wile away a few hours in a day.
Who or what influences you as an artist?
Satirists, modern design aesthetics, artists; Picasso, Goya, Hodgkin, Basquiat, Daumier, Bourgeois, Whiteley, Kara Walker, Clemente among many.
What’s your biggest achievement/proudest moment so far?
Maybe not proudest but probably biggest in terms of cumulative years; turning a four-year degree into six years.
What are your plans for the future?
To live and work as freely as possible, creating my own work and also projects where I collaborate with others. The dream is obviously to be sustained by my work. I am also interested in conservation and restoration.
What makes you laugh?
Costanza.
What pisses you off?
The ‘red tape’.
What’s your opinion of the local scene?
There's always something going on and at the same time it’s easy to keep track of. On the other hand I'd love to get caught up in it in a bigger city.
What are your upcoming performances/exhibitions?
My work is exhibited in perpetuity in cyberspace at www.sachajeffrey.com .
End transmission.
