I’m an artist from the South, but it’s not as cut and dry as this. Being from the South is rife with inconsistencies if not outright contradictions. Listening to The Geto Boys on the way to church. Humidity and suits and ties. Integrated schools and segregated towns. New South. Old South. These cultural contradictions and how they fit into a modern world that is hyper-connected interests me a great deal.I’m typically attracted to opportunities that feel right for reasons I can’t always explain. There’s a bit of magic in knowing just enough to decide on a chance—and learning from what happens. This inclination led me to partner in a leading market research and strategy firm, a c-person thing at a data-driven business and marketing consultancy, a fractional brand manager for a non-profit, and a self-propelled conceptual artist. As a human I still burn toast, make typos, and skip most social outings. However, I appreciate my connection to the wider world and all those around me. I’d love to hear what you’re up to.Bound is my latest artistic venture fueled by a curiosity of how things, and more importantly people, interact with each other.We’re all connected. Targeting differences and asserting authority only separates us. Through listening first, design thinking, and a conceptual art practice, real connections between brands and people can be found and crafted everydayBound works with honesty to identify true things that connect brands, communities, organizations, and everyday people. The intersections of humanity and strategy and art and enterprise form the tension that holds everything together.
