After almost a year, I have finally begun to document this group of drawings, sculptures and sculpture/drawings in a way which approximates their intended display. A week of black-hole days in the studio (as in forgetting to call people, check email, etc) - cleaning, painting, arranging and photographing these pieces. A steady diet of Morton Feldman. The fan in the window blowing cool sunny air (and black particulate matter). So far, 7 single drawings, 2 diptychs, 2 small drawings with wood pieces, 6 wood-only arrangements and 2 large drawings with wood. Balancing set arrangements with the potential for improvisation. Link to an online portfolio.
I'm an artist, performance-maker, and composer. This blog documents my thoughts in relationship to the act of making.
My work moves between and across multi-media performances, sound compositions, drawings, sculptures, and other things.
I teach Sound and Video, Time Arts, Film Sound, and Art Theory at PNCA and WSUV.
