Artist Statement:
Through the use of sound,
video and environment, I have
been able to sculpt
experiences, rather than
objects to experience. I look
forward to sharing these
sculpted environments with a
larger audience, as well as
sculpting new experiences,
inspired by new and unique
spaces. As an additional part
of this extended studio
practice, I began the
submission based publication,
Daily Constitutional, to
foster dialogue among like
minded people and those we
encounter.
Daily Constitutional, an
artist run publication, is
comprised of artists’
writings, artists who write
and works made specifically
for the publication. The
mission of this publication is
to provide an outlet and forum
for the individual Artist’s
voice, rather than the
cacophony that is the art
world at large (galleries,
critics, curators, museums,
patrons and finally the
artists themselves). To
provide a place to express,
exchange and discuss, without
interpretation, the artist’s
opinions, ideas and
discoveries within one’s
practice. If you would like to
carry the publication or work
with us in some manner please
contact me at
editor@dailyconstitutional.org.
This publication can only be
made possible, through the
collaboration of individual
Artists and Art Organizations.
