Wild ideas only become real under the right set of circumstances. When I look back at my life, all the crazy projects, risks, inspirations, and outcomes; I see one continuous theme, one golden thread that ties everything together. Story. The imagining of a story in the fragile first stages of its inception, the foundational narrative of someone who seeks the telling in our collaborations, and the living participatory chaos, creativity, and construct when we are tasked to give these ideas a form.
As an artist, I often feel like I am living both inside and outside of the telling of my own unfurling existence. This duality has translated into a life of incredible projects and offerings. My storytelling practice is deeply engrained in how I build, design, and communicate with the world. I don't dedicate myself to one discipline or path, I am bound to the story, and the ways to share it are infinite.
I initiate projects with conviction, and faith that my collaborators share a mutual desire to cultivate something of beauty and substance. When I think about rooms, and I think about them a lot, I imagine how someone can be forever changed by what's inside. The context of the curation, and the invitation to experience it fully. If you leave with wonder and a residue of questions, then I did my job. May we continue to share in creative works with the intentions to make a better world.
