I like to ask a question of artists and people I meet who are into art. I have a picture I took of a billboard. It’s an old billboard that has been papered over many times, with layer upon layer of old billboards beneath. No discernable text is visible. Instead what you see are stark swaths of bright colors intended to prevent the billboards beneath from showing through. They lay on top of each other in an undeniably beautiful way. The person who created this object wasn’t trying to make art. They were just doing their job. I ask artists I meet, “Is this art?”

I try to ask that question with my work as well. I want to continue the push into the unknown that every artist makes. I take inspiration from our world in all its beautiful, chaotic, and ephemeral nature. I want my work to show a small piece of that world and that experience; a piece that wouldn’t have been noticed otherwise.

I’m focused on tech-based media and art across visual, musical, multisensory, and tactile modes of expression. I explore the senses. As a musician, I use rhythm and harmony as the basis for many tactile and multisensory compositions. I connect the senses, linking touch to sound, sound to light, and the confluence of all three. Some of my works seek to be purely tactile to the exclusion of all other senses. The interplay between the senses is key to our life, our survival, and ultimately our experience of art. I want to push the boundaries of art as a sensory experience.
