I am a ceremonial composer
​
I work in the medium of transitions & time, ceremony & composition
I am commissioned by individuals, groups & communities to create ceremonies
together we create meaning, ceremony & praise
​
​
I believe lives wrap themselves around transitions
you and I can build, walk, speak, cry, sit our way into these moments
​and just like that
I believe humans are ceremonialists
the age old art of time and reverence
the meaning that is made when a transition is given gestures,
objects and language to sing within
​
to build a ceremony is to build an ephemeral home for a transition or a moment of significance
a ceremony is built with reverence to function like a place to be within and for
whatever one is acknowledging or honoring.
