Artist Statement
I work in many genres, primarily performance, music, and writing. What characterizes my work across genres is my focus on integrating personal narrative with pressing socio-political issues. I have created large-scale high-tech multimedia productions, most recently immersive works designed for planetarium domes. And I also create low tech solo performance works often improvised and autobiographical. I write, My stories and essays have been published in many journals and anthologies. And I am composing songs for an album based on the Tibetan Buddhist teachings of Anam Thubten Rinpoche. I am devoted to addressing the most pressing issues of our era through the intimate lens of our lived lives in an effort to cast light on the complexities of human nature and how we can give rise to wisdom and compassion.
