My video works often feature atmospheric entities slowly filling blank palettes then once again receding – my artistic responses to bewildering issues I grapple with as they cycle again and again through my life: relationships, disease, time, sex, love, joy, despair and happiness. Do I act? Do I wait quietly?Sitting at a bar years ago with two dear friends, we reflected on our personalities. I was pure id, all action and damn the consequences. Things seemed simpler for me then, but I am a much happier and healthier human being today. Facing these life issues, addressing and redressing them, has led me to where I am now, a man on the brink of losing everything, trying to balance what cannot be and loving it.I utilize new media/video installation to constantly record my observations of everyday life. In the 1990’s, I began sculpting in my Brooklyn studio using a variety of materials —steel, stone, aluminum and acrylic. My unique installations came about when I sought to invoke three-dimensional forms utilizing digital images. Consistent with my belief that all life is imbued with the original energy that created the entire universe, the viewer of my work often experiences a spontaneous aesthetic response befitting the beauty inherent in the endless variety and power of the natural world. At an early age, I was exposed to industrial toxins. I have wrestled with a brain tumor for a number of years. It has caused the loss of motor control on the right side of my body and challenges my language production and comprehension. I cherish the time I am able to share with my son, Calder Norté, friends and family.
