INSTALLATION
Theatre is a world in
and of itself. And yet theatres need artists to create the illusion
constructed before the audience. That is what I do. I create the
atmosphere found throughout the script. My installations are similar to
a theatre setting in that they require interaction in order to make the
location thrive. In this situation, however, the actors will not arrive
and perform for you. Instead you, the viewer, need to enter the
environment and explore the text. In addition to traditional set pieces
you will find more - an entirely different world filled with emotions
found within the script. Please enter this world and explore the text
along with me while walking through my space.
PAINTINGApril 2008
As I begin a painting the vision is a foggy and faded one, becoming
clear and focused over time. Capturing the raw essence of the idea
within, my paintings are abstract, organic, and minimal - Bringing you
to a visceral place within yourself that you never even knew existed.
