je suis utopiste!

About Me

Above all things I am a dreamer. I am thankful for my imagination. While others may seek out material possessions to FEEL alive, I create. It is the only time when I am truly myself. Meeting other dreamers, speaking with them, exchanging ideas, and working with them to make an impact (whether big or small) is my motivation in life. My inspiration comes from many things: travel, movement, buildings, architecture, color, nature, love, loneliness, dreams, memories, life, death, fairy tales, family, music, film, video, books, spoken word, Brooklyn, magazines, internet, photographs, pieces of random printed materials from coffee shops, the coffee from the coffee shops, this list can go on forever, and ever........................................................ ............................................................ .............
(yeah it's busy just like me!)
This is my baby, Anti-Oxidant. I'm here to nurture it, show it love, give it attention, and make sure it grows into something beautiful, strong, and above all brave.
In a less abstract fashion, Anti-Oxidant is a video salon held monthly at the Lounge at Northeast Kingdom in Bushwick, Brooklyn. If you're a video artist living in Brooklyn and more specifically, Bushwick, I want to see your work. Please email me at [email protected].
