I am an artist, writer and global nomad. I was born in Jakarta, Indonesia and grew up living in Korea, Thailand, Turkey, India, and England. I settled in California in the mid seventies and minus a brief interlude in the Mid-west for two years, California has been the only 'home' I have ever known. Something about the land and the way it draws such diversity to it, has made it the only place in America that I have ever felt like I belonged.
My fictional works consist mainly of short stories about living abroad, or of the displacement I've felt being a stranger in my own country. I've also written a science fiction novel, Eddies In The Event Stream; which is about a dystopic future where technology simultaneously destroys and redeems humanity in a perverse cash economy filled with artificial life forms, genetically engineered viruses, and transgender species.
My early pastel works on paper, Fragments, are a fusion between the traditions of Landscape, Still Life, and Pop Art. While my most recent assemblage work, Momento Mori, deals with the process of my brother's illness and death. And my black and white photography series, Savage Garden, addresses the iconization of images of death from an early Western point of view.
