Artist Statement:
I'm a violist, (cue viola joke: How do you keep your violin from getting stolen? Put it in a violin case. (Bu-dum-tsss)) an audio engineer, and a pop culture fanatic so some would say that I'm not really an artist at all. (Cue viola joke #2: What's the difference between a viola and an onion? No one cries when you cut up a viola. (Bu-dum-tsssss)) In any case, I just like creating. I've been fortunate enough to create music concrete, foley, live audio mixes, recorded audio mixes, mini-documentaries, short films, and so much more. Everything I've done - no matter the medium - has pop-culture references around every corner and almost all of my work since 2012 has included references to the masterpiece hip-hopera "Trapped in the Closet" by R.Kelly. (So be on the lookout.)
City Statement:
I love urban environments. I would never want to live in one, but looking at them is fascinating. (Full disclosure: my obsession may have started with R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet") I also love dystopian environments. I've always wanted to visit an abandoned amusement park/city and just see how nature has taken over. There's something so haunting about areas that used to be so heavily populated that are now deserted. At its core, my city is "I am Legend" meets "Trapped in the Closet."
