Bio

I'm a conceptual artist and a sculptor. In 1992, with an intention to develop a new model of art practice, I built and operated a zany sci-fi pizza parlor called the Nova Express Cafe. The cafe, which I saw as a form of poetic resistance to mainstream culture, was a place of fun and creativity for fifteen years until March of 2008.
I'm currently building an art and design facility called Robot Iguana Studio.
