Artist Statement
I am a self-taught multimedia artist and documentarian working primarily in audio. It’s fun to learn how other people have lived and fought and loved and lost in the midst of creative and political movements. I love the sculpting aspect of editing media. I love to weave together stories in a way that surprises listeners. I love digging deeper into familiar stories to ask deeper questions–whose perspective is missing and where is the dissent? What culture is being made in response to this moment? I love hearing from people who finally see their experiences reflected with respect.
My work focuses on amplifying counter-hegemonic voice, mutual aid, comparative experience across identities, the importance of keeping your own archives and the clean and sharp edit. My favorite projects tell stories of community engagement, share different perspectives on similar events, tell of radical actions and hold conversations across culture, time, and space.
My many projects include 35+ years of radio production, zines, books, films, audio zines, demos, and a few pieces of vinyl. Project information is on the Project page.
I work at Outside the Frame as Operations Manager. I play drums in the band Noxeema. I put out the zine Chasing the Night. I am a cat person and a night person.
