Everlasting Dance Happening Between the Once and Future Trees
The stumps in this piece are sentient. They spend 1/2 the year above water and 1/2 the year below. Once they were tall, growing from a mountain side, but the land was flooded to make a lake, a dam, electricity.

Fly On!!!
The title coming from a mix tape of the same name my late uncle gave me in the 1980's, containing cult classics & hits from his vinyl collection. The song was written & mostly recorded in the backyard where I grew up, the place where I often dreamed of flying with the birds, bugs, bees, & butterflies & climbed trees with crawling critters. It's about fulfilling that dream & finding that love one day, but when?
The recording was meant to be a demo to eventually be rerecorded by better musicians, but I've gotten used to this version. The video was recently made playing with green screen technology & integrating my rusty celluloid animation skills into the digital age.
