| I am an artist and musician from Dallas, Texas, USA. I create video artwork that is interactive and animated. Most of the works deal with the pathologies of modern American culture and the dangerous archetypes that lurk beneath it. The soundtracks of the works add another level of commentary to the experience. I make music with my Didgeridoo, Shenai, Moog Rogue, Moog Prodigy, hand drums, and several software synthesizers, electronic drums, and recording programs. The purpose of my music and visual art is to influence the consciousness of the viewer-listener toward a transformational and ecstatic experience. I also take photographs of people and places in Dallas and around wherever else. The photos deal with our culture and the spaces where we buy the things we consume, and also with the space occupied by all human beings, the human body, and the way the human body is affected by that culture. |
