As a performance artist, the interaction between myself and another human being is the art.  This happens in relationship: between a performer and an audience, between a writer and a reader, between one stranger to another, or even between artists in a collaboration or an exchange.

​

The difference between the art and the everyday is an element of spectacle or the unexpected, and the filters through which we experience each other and each moment.
