As Trine sees it, presenting his work is an integral part of the process. “It’s this combination of set designer, stylist, prop maker, and art director. I do all of that and the whole picture is what really engages me. I want to think of myself more as a director eventually. I realized early on that my hands were starting to hurt already — I realized I can’t be the sole one making all this stuff by myself. I joke that the evolution is one day I’ll be sitting in a lawn chair and creatively managing people. I would love that.”
