Hello Java Jivers

Hello Java Jivers!


INTRO / ARTIST STATEMENT

I’m interested in stories and how they’re told. With light and sound. Darkness and silence. 0 and 1. Whitespace and form. Movement and stillness.

Primarily a street photographer, I work in digital and analog photography, ink, and graphic arts — informed by a professional background in digital interaction/motion and sound design. The current direction of my work is atmospheric and surreal, inspired by botanicals, lo-fi graphic arts, sumi-e ink, and glitches in the matrix. I’m also exploring intersections of photography and sound design for immersive experiences.
