Ummm..art? Connecting the seemingly unconnected.

About Me



My Interests

I like to feel fear...and then to take it on strong. Head on. Performance art and seeing how it thrives in different cities. Technological "advancements"....Conspiracies. Laughing. Starting dance parties where ever I may go. I like to dance...It's how I get around. Ice Cream. remembering my dreams, random road trips to wherever we go, tree houses, comb overs, rubber cement, and the history of an object, person or place.

I'd like to meet:

I want to meet my challenge...a good challenge.

Music:

Frank Zappa, Patti Smith, Gil Scott Heron, Nina Simone, Charles Mingus, Dance Music! Leslie and the Lys, Blonde Redhead, Belle and Sebastian, Donna Summer, I like to make noises with my body, and dance a lot. 80's dance music- many different kinds. I also like some disco, and early 90's La Buche crap. hmmm and Doo-wop music. Leslie Gore, The Shangri Las, Lorretta Lynn, Patsy Cline. I have a thang for country music. My backround in music comes from my Dad who loves COUNTRY and my Mom who loves Doo Wop and Disco-dance. That's how my family bonds we listen to music. I love my sisters because we all dance all the time when we are together and do funny shit. The thing with music is that I go through phases. I think right now I am interested in music that sounds like there is a whip being used as an instrument.

Movies:

I like EXPERRIMENTAL FILM, Super 8MM and 16MM turns me on! Porky's and Porky's Revenge, Metropolis, Fritz Lang... THX1138, George Lucas... American Graffiti... A Bronx Tale... Chitty Bang Bang (i can not remember how to spell it)... Goodfellas Tadpole-a independant film made in the past 5 years... Dr. StrangeLove, or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb,Screamers... CARNIVAL OF SOULS... Harold and maude... How To Draw a Bunny, story of Ray Johnson... Nosferatu... Fight Club... Suberbia... Pumpkin Cache=Hidden, a french flick. Eraserhead... Dead Presidents...Wild at Heart...Blue velvet... Kill Bill 2...bollywood and going to the actual theatres in India and hearing the whole crowd go crazy for everything, Jhoom Balaha Jhoom.

Television:

somtimes I SUCK ON the static!

Books:

Anna Karinina, The Rise of the Creative Class, Stimulations, Don Quioxte, Love in the Time Of Cholera, Bash-three part play, books on fractals. I teach myself science theory.

Heroes:

I can't say they are my heroes, but I really just appreciate their work, They inspire me...Laurel Nakadate, Frida Khalo, Marina Abramovic, Lee Wen, Annie Sprinkle, Sophie Calle, Ray Johnson, Frank Zappa and Leo Tolstoy! Don Quioxte and Tank Girl are what I would call role models
