Description

We are living in a world of planned and perceived obsolescence, consuming without concern, leading to endangerment of species and our planet. Coming together as a community affords us more resources and power to create change. How can we rethink our patterns of consumption and waste?

Knot On My Planet unites with the Elephant Crisis Fund, to help provide a secure future for elephants by forging partnerships with fashion and luxury brands. 100% of every dollar donated goes directly to projects on the ground, to end the ivory crisis, promote human-elephant coexistence, and protect elephant landscapes.

Another Life is a giant skeleton of a tusk, inviting viewers to walk inside and tie fabric onto its structure, communally building this piece. The engulfing size of the tusk is a nod to our society and planet — we are living in it and have the power to affect it.

Installation inside Knot On My Planet fundraiser event.

Made from over 90% waste and repurposed materials in an effort to create an eco-friendly and socially conscious piece with minimal waste.

Creator, Designer

A non-profit space that fosters artist development pushing experimentation through the lens of storytelling and impermanence in a building awaiting demolition.

For over 2 decades I have worked for a vast array of clients across North America, creating digital + print work, objects, and merchandise collected around the world.

A label focused on experimental, environmentally based, very limited objects through sustainable material exploration and collaboration with musicians and artists.

Extempore

Collective

Musician

A non-profit located on the arid coast of Almeria, Spain. Its site has inspired numerous projects that: defend the ocean, resolve environmental plastics, equilibrate agriculture and prevent desertification. It serves to function with the purpose of scientific research, design and reporting through the collaboration of respected experts.

I record music, scores, soundtracks, and field recordings for art exhibitions, films, and personal exploration. For the most part, Extempore is a mostly improvised analog process capturing sonic moments in time.
