Notes on a diverse practice

“We live in a world rife with division, where walls separate communities and style/genre boundaries separate artists. My hope is that by maintaining a diverse practice that draws on, and participates in, lots of different creative communities, my work can serve as an opportunity to draw people together and unify them. My work is people oriented, meaning I see the people involved in the creation and performance of a work as far more valuable than the work itself. I create in this way because I believe that all people are inherently valuable and that art and music are a necessary expression of that.”
