I am constantly creating visual works. Most are sculptural, often a simple concept but requiring significant labor. Some are software. In recent years I also started doing performance productions. NOTE: Many of these are only a single highlight from the project; click the DATE link in a caption to see the whole work in context. Note I'm behind on 2009 postings.
