Green Taxis

38 pieces. NYC pressing forward at the end of the millennium not taking any time to digest or summarize, just moving on to experiencing and creating the next thing.

The MANGO Broadcasts & B-Side Therapies

The MANGO Broadcasts & B-Side Therapies

18 works. The Mango Broadcasts are some of my personal favorites, created from cut-ups of Herald Tribunes traveling through southern Europe and fragments of all kinds. Mixed and remixed into commando broadcasts that speak in uncanny poetic veracity. The rest of the collection gathers this very NYC- Europe- NOLA punk and political moment into one cohesive volume
