Art & Media

My art and educational work are cross-feeding and co-evolving. My aspiration within education is towards the full creative and knowledgeable empowerment of learners to envision and recreate their world. I consider art just a more open, integrative, holistic and experimental approach to education. Artists form learning experiences, and are experiential designers and teachers through alternative forms. We shape a more embodied - aesthetic, psycho-emotional, holistic, approach to knowledge and understanding. 

I am an intermedia artist. I work primarily with sound and music. From sound emerges image, sequence, dynamic, force and emotion. My media work is often multi-channel, multimodal and immersive in sound, video, sometimes integrated with live presentation.

I integrate various forms, elements and components into a diversity of projects, products and experiences. Ideas, images, emotions and intentions gain fluency, amplification and embodiment through technological and physical production. Media arts is a vehicle for co-emergent creative expression and design. Our collective work is a result of the collaboration of people and media technologies as an aesthetically synthesizing interface. 

My philosophical focus is the interrelationship between humans, technology, nature, primal psychology, mythology and spirituality. I consider machines to be a living, electro-neurological extension of human being. 

I do some traditional forms of visual and media arts - drawing, painting, etching, sculpture, mixed media, as well as videos that are promotional, informational and documentary.
