How did you get into debt?
I acquired debt by obtaining Student Loans over the years and through credit cards. The Student Loans are ballooning as time goes by.
How does your economic reality effect your art?
I would be producing more work if I had a studio. I hated having to let it go because of the cost of the rent. I would also work in other printshop studios as well. Ultimately, I would be be in the studio a lot more.
Would your work look different if you weren't in debt?:
Yes, I would be able to afford more (and better) materials for my art. I would also be able to afford a adequate studio space.
