About Me

About me

.. ..My life mission is to create art and investigate aesthetics while practicing contemporary meditative techniques. I apply the insights and wisdom developed by mindfulness and creativity to a variety of applications in the world of arts, ecology, and education to create revolutionary causes and conditions for peaceful, and vital collective enlightenment.As a dharma practitioner and multimedia performance artist I present an array of video imagery and sculptural environments set to dissolve the subject/object relationship. Illustrating movement and stillness as essential human languages, I perform “meditation-sculptures” that are both spiritual asanas and non-violent actions that merge the inner-work of deep personal contemplation as ritual with the outwardly expressive forms of activism and art. Evoking these personal-social processes has challenged my own arbitrary differentiations between meditation, art, and creativity as well as promoting meditation and radical transcendence as a public act thereby I hope awakening creative spirit in all.Other than that, I am a simple man.
