Since I have moved down to central California I have found myself doing more hiking and climbing. In the process I fell in love with the shapes, lines, textures and colors found in the California high sierras and the Sequoia National Forest. These photographs are a study of the mountains, valleys, skies, forests, rivers and lakes of the California mountains. I am attempting to capture their beauty and trying to find contrast and balance between the basic elements that complete the compositions.

"Found Failure" is a continuation of my work in self deconstruction and identification. In these performance videos I use objects that I find walking and hiking to test my masculinity against. The result is always failure but in the process I am asking myself questions about how my constructed masculine identity effects the environment and people around me.
These two videos are part of the "Foundations" series I have been working on. In the installation they are projected onto the concrete pillars.
This picture is the first installation of the series "Foundations" installed at the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture. This is part of a group exhibition for the Saranac Art Projects.
