ARTISTS STATEMENT

In the process of defining my work I have been involved in creating projects and events which bring together various people to produce sounds and to focus on the experience of listening and being. I‚ve become increasingly appreciative of the enduring impression of experiences that arise out of personal transitory moments. Sound is a great form of transportation. I like to create situations which encourage listening and haphazardness, while contemplating that haphazardness doesn't exist. Recently I have been enhancing the pre-existing sounds of objects whose primary function is seemingly unrelated to the sounds they produce. In a social context I hope to shift perception, open windows to new experiences, provoke never-heard-before dialogs and have fun. My attempts to confront limitations have helped me to utilize them. In pursuit of a spontaneous creative thought I strive to overcome the fear of producing something stupid or boring.
