How
would you describe your art to someone who could not see it?


/>I try to relay my message in a rather straight forward manner, usually
doing so by the use of either text or video.  I am not interested in distancing
my audience from the work I create, instead, my goal is to pull them in as close
as possible and allow them to share the experience I encountered while creating
it.
