Engaged with Art, I participate in a process of co creation with the forces of the Cosmos. Intimate. Expansive. Life affirming.

Sometimes it is a call to a visual offering. Other times it is sonic. I enjoy designing ritual theatre spaces that are multidisciplinary and trans lineage where several art forms intersect and generate novel forms of subjective and collective identity. Art is heteromorphic. A walk or conversation can be art. Live your life as such.
Where do you find inspiration?It:s sort of like philosophy. Somehow there is a shock to thought. Out of nowhere there is a prompt, an invitation, an insistence to materialize a new intimacy. Painting, theory, music. dance, film, death, love,literature, dialogue, my personal maturation arc, shamanisms, nature, all of it is a prompt. What does life want? Life wants more life. Art is a through line to the evolving mystery of my existence.
What would you do with $25,000?I am a seasoned feral curandero in need of a walkabout. Go to my soul home, Costa Rica, walk El Camino, a trek, from the Caribbean Coast to the Pacific and document the journey. Donate the proceeds from the film. That's about 7k. Take maybe 3K to celebrate my friendships and our outrageous victories and spectacular defeats 15k left? Generate more art: music, book, video, performance, run a retreat for other ferals...:)
