SUBJECT OBJECT
I am composing and painting, experimenting with both the creation
of new music and visual scores that reflect the work. Coming to
Finland gives me time, space and possibility of collaborating with
other energetic, international artists.
I am interested in the intersection between music and painting. I
have been composing for theatre and spoken word poetry for the
past seven years, integrating music compositions with words and
visual theatre. Being at Arteles Creative Center is allowing me the
space to create music scores and painting, visual compositions
that can be stand alone works of art, and/or be part of multimedia
video and performance.
I have been on an organic journey doing art for a long time, and
the one thing I learned from my teachers, mentors, and elders is
that we need to stop sometimes and breathe, see where we are,
and where we want to go as an artist. The world today is marked
by a complexity of ever-changing events – unfortunately not all
pleasant. As an artist there is always the need to take some time
to look within and allow the creativity to guide the process and the
flow, without concerns. I have been taught that when we make a
positive change within, then we can take this out to the community
and the world.
