click here for a glimpse of my most recent work,"here nor there." |
 |
 |
| the project pictured here was the result of a collaboration between myself, composer Erik Nielsen, and Abenaki educator Jeanne Brink. the intent was to create a cross-cultural piece that would address issues of local historical importance. Jeanne gave Erik and i permission to make use of the "Lonesome Song" that had been passed down through her family since the 1700's. | |
| the finished piece was shown as part
of the "Abenaki Material Culture" exhibit at the State Historical
Society in Montpelier. incorporating photography, video and a musical score
by Erik Nielsen, the piece told the story of "Roger's Raid" from
a variety of perspectives.

| "being here now" was a large scale photo/video/sound installation originally shown at The University of Ohio at Athens. having attending an Air National Guard airshow in Rhode Island, this piece grew out of the video footage i shot there. four large (4'X5') mosiacs from video stills were interspersed among 50 color photographs of open books. the books represented a spectrum of right-wing, militarist and capitalist ideology. the three video monitors played highly altered versions of the original airshow footage for the benefit of the manniquin heads, while a soundtrack that combined airshow sounds with the rantings of a right-wing extremist shortwave radio host and electric guitar noise. | |
