Artist's Statement
I am a multidisciplinary artist whose work has been focused on an expanded poetics that results in the creation of movies, books, installations and songs. This work sits between essay and story, cinema and literature, science and spirituality. It moves beyond allegiance to media and works hard at defying classification.
This work considers the most basic existential questions of human existence; its morbidity, profundity and banality, with the unexpected tools of play and humor. I approach these questions rigorously while side stepping the oppressive, class-bound implications of academic form and language.
