This website was originally constructed as a home base for my work in music and sound art. Surprise! I hold a double MFA in music composition and voice from the California Institute of the Arts. While I now spend most of my professional time in the visual world, sound and music remain an important part of my life, constantly inform my practice, and really did the work of forming my “artist brain” long before my introduction to clay. As a composer and performer, I often sought to treat sound as an object, paying close attention to spacial relationships and giving special consideration to mundane extramusical aspects of classical performance as part of a kind of theater. I sometimes felt frustrated by the impermanent nature of a finished work and constrained my a temporal medium. Now, I often find myself thinking of objects in terms of pacing and how they are experienced in time, definitions of physical timbre, the idea of function as it exists in utilitarian objects and formal harmonic analysis. Connection to sound continues to exist as a sort of religious place-holder for me. On this page, you will find a non-exhaustive collection of my work using waves instead of clay.
