Artist statement
The laptop is an instrument. The screen is a performance space.
I am a Minneapolis based creative coder, musician, and moving image artist. My work combines guitar, live visual processing, webcam footage, screen recordings, creative coding, digital distortion, and analog printmaking. I build Black digital interiors through saturated color, layered screens, feedback, handmade abstraction, and spiritual noise.

FILM GRAIN
A glitchy texture experiment that drifted away from literal film grain and into a heavier study of edge, luminance, and dirty motion.
[MediaPipe / webcam]
finger colorshift
Hand and pose tracking routed into TouchDesigner, exploring the body as a controller for color, feedback, and live composition.
[system study]
layout
Network studies, interface sketches, and repeatable TouchDesigner structures for faster live visual building.

Haystack printmaking / lithography
Through a scholarship supported class at Haystack, I studied introductory printmaking and lithography. I cut paper forms by hand, translated them into printed compositions, and worked through color, layering, abstraction, and handmade image construction.
That analog process feeds the screen work: saturated color, rough edges, texture, distortion, and the tension between a handmade mark and a computed image.
