I am an artist, musician, and poet/journal writer.

I come from Seattle, u.s.a. and I live in Heidelberg, Germany.

I want to convey a sense of grandness of space and time in my art, but in a way that is nascent and naive, as if I’m not presenting art at all, but the possible underlying structure of theoretical, future art.

My main interests as an artist have been, through different iterations: improvisation, chance, line, time, process, math, materials, narrative, art history, music, the human figure, human relationships, dialog, meditation, writing, poetry, what is it to be and not be.

Or simply movement and rawness.

I spent many years focused almost exclusively on blind drawing, which was a practice perfectly suited to pursue some kind of movement and rawness.

However, the latest phase of my art is playing with a grid structure meant as a catch-all for my interests, obsessions, and habits, so that my art is now more a place of who I am, not a strict discipline I aspire to. The grid plots gestural lines and accidental movements, all of which could represent data sets of scientific experiments, something from history, a chess game, or just the trails and trials of my daily life.

I include text with almost every piece, often 'How to' titles written at the bottom. It’s a way to have continuity to my journal writing, it also offers something destructive and synergetic, hopefully poetic but not sentimental.
