I am here to explore the music that arises from living and to translate those vibrations into compositions of space and time. To create experiences and objects that bring together the physical and the ephemeral in an effort to deepen our awareness and widen the dimensions of perception.
Through the alchemy of mixed metals and glass, combined with the spectrums of sound and light; I create works both large and small which extrapolate the properties of our human experience, explore the polarities found within them and listen to the noise that dances in between. Using space, material and vibration I sculpt work that plays with perspectives of time, geometry and void to capture memory, ignite wonder and empower change.
We are each an instrument of the finest design. Strung with strings tuned to the precise oscillation of our infinity, you will find no other with the same timbre and tone as yours or mine. My practice is an orchestration of elements intended to further one's ability to transcend the perceptions of reality, both within that with which we are familiar and of the psychedelic.
Setting the stage for each of us to master the greatest instrument of all, ourselves.
