Standing In

"I Stand Corrected" is a video by my studio mate Jereon Nelemans.  He asked me to stand in for this recording as a viewer placed off to the side. We're both interested in playing with formal design to create open grids, looking at the work of Mondrian, and studying the Fibonacci Series.

RedShift at Body Implement

I created RedShift Party Hats in leather and feather for "Body Implement" at Nick Cave's Sound Suit Shop in Chicago's South Loop, November 2010. There's a narrative behind these hats which begins 13 years ago with a magazine tear sheet and the performance "Mercuria" by Lynn Book and Theo Bleckmann at "Here" in New York. I designed the costumes for these two vocalists who embodied more content than I've ever cloaked. Please see the clip...

This is a story about the infinite in the everyday, when invention interrupts intention with fluid generosity.

Lynn Book's Gorgeous Fever

I have worked with Lynn Book on a number of projects and performances as set and costume designer.  Gorgeous Fever at The Kitchen was a life shifting embodied experience.

Here's a sneak peak back in time:
