FEELING
SOUND PIECE: Toute Seule –Theme
This piece I think is the main theme of the marsh project, it is trying to work through the loneliness felt when thinking of the overwhelming inevitability of the earth’s destruction by humanity. When standing in this wetland park, which is a pastiche of its original form, nestled between I95 and 495 expressways next to… Read More ›
SOUND PIECE: A Presence –Phase 1
I have been shooting these Marshes since Fall of 2019, as well as researching the natural and environmental history of Delaware, both in relationship to my artistic practice and as a Delaware State Master Naturalist. What I am finding and what I am reading is mostly a very upsetting, anger inducing, tale of the systematic… Read More ›

Third composition, visualizing a foggy moment on the river…

Most of… Read More ›

SOUND PIECE: I Am ok…
A sound piece made of this moment… This piece was made the week of November 5th 2020. It was presented in the entry hallway of Taylor Hall.Its optimum installation setup would have been on discreet/hidden shelving about head high to optimize the unsettling nature of the voices. (and yes this piece is a reference to… Read More ›
VIDEO: Marsh on Fury…
These videos were part of an attempt at working with images of Marsh grasses, both invasive Phragmites and other native grasses. I say attempt as I am still trying to understand how the different types of materials I have can be challenged to leave behind their “nature doc” feel and go somewhere else. The combination… Read More ›
SOUND PIECE: Breathless
sound piece made as a soundtrack for my first pass at Untitled 7B (Breathless Punks). All of the sounds are of my normal breathing manipulated and processed in various ways. some of it is sped up some of it slowed down, pitch is all over the place, etc. Then I used as a composition reference… Read More ›
