It’s August, so I put up an experimental/instrumental EP composed of 4 songs that I made this past winter.  You can listen to it at REKLAMA.Bandcamp.com or click on the music tab in the website menu!

Last week, on May 17th, 2021, Emma Leavitt aka Solei released her 2021 EP Same Water (on her birthday!). I was honored to make the music video for the title track “Same Water”, which features additional animations by Solei of her artwork.  This video was over a year in the making, and started with a shoot at dawn at the beloved Turtle Pond, during the pandemic.  I tried to minimize my typical use of endless video layers and composite shots, to zero in on the ambient minimalism of Solei’s music.  You can hear the EP as well as other music by Solei here.

Back in December 2020, my good friend Steph, who makes art as nurselog, commissioned a shrine to represent feminine energy.  She wanted a piece that would celebrate the complexities and beauty of bodies and the freedom to choose what is right for your own.  Within a couple weeks, I found the perfect base statue at my local Savers (see the “before” photo), and so - Stella came into being.  This was my first time special-ordering rhinestones for an individual shrine and it was very worth it.  It was only appropriate to leave nothing to chance (and everything to choice) for such a piece.  My favorite details on Stella are at the “watery” base, representing the fluidity of the human body/being.  Included in the image set is a process photo featuring my dear assistant, my kitten Doomsday Ramone.

Check out the “Shrines” tab under the “Visual Art” dropdown in the menu for more new shrines that I finally posted on here!
