Large-scale project artist · Atlanta, Georgia

Story is
the medium.
Deep listening
is the work.

I get inspired by multiple art forms and dream up ways to connect them in one immersive or performative piece — using the classical tradition not as a frame for prestige, but as a container strong enough to hold the full weight of real human stories.

Touring concert · Emily Thorner

State of Being

A touring concert experience for one vocalist, built around custom-commissioned new music from the UK, Germany, the US, and Norway — exploring identity, illusion, and the soul through electronics, voice, and live instrument. I served as creative director, shaping the concert architecture around performer Emily Thorner's dual practice as world-class singer and spiritual healer.

New work forthcoming

The next large-scale project is in its early relationship-building phase. More when the time is right.

The practice

The difference between art about a community
and art made with one is a matter of years.

My process begins with listening — not as research, not as data collection, but as a creative act in itself. Every large-scale project starts with a period of genuine relationship-building with the people whose story the work will carry: six months to a year before a community trusts at the level this kind of work demands.

What emerges is not a document of what happened. It is a space — a live event, an installation, an immersive performance — where the people who lived the story can finally sit inside it together. That is what the classical tradition makes possible, when you use it right: a container strong enough to hold the full weight of real human experience.

Bring something
into being together.

Art is the glue because art expresses the purpose. If you're building something that matters to a community — an opening, an anniversary, an arrival, a reckoning — and you want that moment to stitch people together rather than just mark the occasion, I want to hear from you.
