about

At my side
Autumn weed flowers
Whisper softly -
'How dear to me
are all things that die.'

- Bokusui Wakayama (trans. Anthony Thwaite)

Depictions and descriptions of the experience of physical, remembered, and imagined places through the dual lenses of fear and fascination. The subtle shift from everyday to ominous that can occur with a change in the light, a passing thought snagged on sharp uncanniness, a daydream left out too long and gone cold after nightfall.

The self-cycling circles of thrill and terror, excitement and desperation, found in the space between storytelling and paranoia. The capacity for simultaneous beauty and foreboding in a place, and our capacity to follow that duality just too far to tell the difference.

Visions manifested, of fear, of meaning, of sensation, and the rituals of fascination, of memory, of superstition with which we bind and remake them. All are lost again. All are found again.

Various sound art media, including works for instruments, voices, electronics, and field recordings. Explorations of the cerebral and vector qualities of sound, literally and metaphorically: its shape, direction, movement, and communication. Digital manipulation generates not artificiality but new and very real qualities to the actions of listening and seeing. ... more
