I am a musician and visual artist born and raised in Miami, Florida.
I now live and work between New York, Miami and Colorado.
Originally trained as an orchestral tubist, I make drawings, sculptures, photographs, and installations that respond to my experiences in the great outdoors.
Turning to the archives of Americana, I investigate the historical foundations of the myths that have defined the American imagination—and, in turn, structured my own upbringing within organizations like the Boy Scouts of America.
I estimate that I have spent nearly a year of my life camping in the Everglades. In that landscape, my sense of Americanness took shape—formed through the rituals of scouting, informed by a sanitized vision of Indigenous sovereignty, and complicated by my own emergence as a gay man.
