Bio / Resumee / Statement:
I am an interdisciplinary artist working in the fields of: literature, painting, photography, music, and film.
My writing has been published in literary journals in 20 countries, in 7 languages, including journals such as Poetry Salzburg, California Quarterly, Orbis, and Evergreen Review.
My visual art works have been published in Static (the journal of the ICA, the Science Museum, and the TATE), and have been placed in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Zentrum fur Kunst und Medientechnologie, and documenta Archiv. My works have been exhibited at venues such as the Chelsea Art Museum, Artists Space, and Cinema Le Balzac, and at festivals such as Art Basel, the Ferrara Biennale, and the Venice Biennale.
In 2007, I collaborated with musician Robert Fripp (King Crimson) on the sound art project The Seven Words. This work was installed in sensory deprivation tanks in New York and London, and was broadcast via radio telescope, off-world, 3-4 light years into outer space. A limited edition CD of the work was also auctioned off with the proceeds going to children with AIDS.
I am currently working on a series of album works: Blood of Union, The Lugubrious Game, World of Fused Beaches and Isolated Child, The Heart Flutters on a Thread and Loves the Errors of its Killer, The Marriage of the Animal and the Divine, and, Story of the Eye.
