BOX 1035
...represents the collaborative work created with Alysse Stepanian and has emerged from the gradual melding of our ideas as individual artists. In combining the perspectives of the visual arts and music we have created work that is multisensorial, static and temporal, ephemeral and timeless. Joseph Campbell wrote, “Beyond the world of opposites is an unseen unity and identity in us all.” Our work is multilayered with social, political, philosophical and psychological references. Desire, obsession, fear and anxiety have been recurring subjects.
In 2005, we abandoned the idea of having a home to pursue international projects. Our PO Box 1035 became a symbol for non-permanence, a nomadic existence motivated not by the needs of survival, but by an interest in experience and movement. Risk and uncertainty are perversely attractive, and in a sense this is life imitating art. As John Cage said, ”Art is an opportunity for self-alteration, not self-expression.”
