Hello!
If you don't know me and have stumbled upon my blog, I suggest you take a look at my thesis to get an idea, but if you want the short version: I don't like empty things.
This blog also is a small selection of some work I did while a student at MSU Denver.
I am currently a freelance illustrator and painter.
The ship is boarding.
Thank you for browsing my student work.

"Allegory of Light" performed at PAX Miami (Art Basel week)
Friday night during Art Basel in Miami this year, I performed on the main stage at PAX Miami (Performing Arts Exchange Miami) as part of the group show titled "Informal Correspondence", curated by my good friend Joey Meyer, currently undertaking his MFA at Miami University.
"Allegory of Light" was an analog version of the software program Photoshop, where my body was the cursor (the index of human interaction with technology) and the stage was the file window in which I worked. The stage or "window" was lined from front to back with layers of color and varying transparencies, through the use of plastic and wax materials. I projected video onto the screen in back of all the layers, which was a video I created in AfterEffects that contained duplicates of myself painting on a wall in a room, going back and forth through time both dressed as Birth and as Death. During the performance, the cursor (me) would move throughout the layers and cut away shapes and pieces.
"Allegory of Light" was fully video-taped. Typically I post all my performance footage online, however, my camera was stolen that night, and so I've got these fancy iPhone photos instead.

"Agua" aired in Denver LED billboard exhibition
My video "Agua" was included in Denver's very first LED billboard art show, "Frame of Mind", a video and motion-based art exhibition that took place on
the brand new LED screen at the corner of 14th and Champa St. in downtown
Denver. The exhibition was presented by the Denver Theatre District and the Downtown
Denver Partnership, and curated by Ivar Zeile of Plus Gallery.
Video footage was filmed specifically for the Denver billboard exhibit while in Asheville, NC... Asheville being my new residence for working on art projects and playing in the woods. I used keyboard symbols to create an emoticon for water. Denver is a very dry place in the summer. This video was created for Denver, with hopes to spread a meme of hydration (drought reduction) through the minds that viewed it over time, as they passed by the billboard from day to day.
You can kind of make out the video here, at 1:11.

Bloodlines, Emmanuel Gallery, 12/2/2010
Bloodlines was a multimedia performance where I utilized video art, sound and performance with drawing utensils. It was originally written up as a short play with four acts, and then modified into a 30 minute performance art piece.
Performance took place at Emmanuel Gallery on Auraria Campus in Denver, CO.
Special thanks to LOGOS (Asheville, NC) for his expertise in sound engineering, and Steve Gottshall (Denver, CO) for event photography.
