Artist, Educator, Community Organizer + Mirroring as Healing Practice + Guided Movements.
What is Greenman Art?
Greenman Art is a living system for healing, remembrance and connection. The work inhabits a space where movement connects movement and awareness triggers memory. Sensation thrives in a clearing.
I’m a multimedia artist focusing on audioreactive and generative visual art with a particular interest in healing arts and intuitive listening, highlighting stillness and bringing forward silence.
Mirroring as a Healing Practice
Thru the range of expression of movement and frequency entwinement between gesture and void become illuminated. Shatters attachment to fear allowing for the full breath of expression.
Greenman Art is art practice as ritual, embodiment and community experience.
I exist at the intersection of sound, movement and quiet perception. Through audioreactive visual systems, intuitive art-making and embodied listening I create spaces where people can slow down and reconnect with themselves and one another bringing forward something larger than the individual.
Core Modalities
Blender is a powerful open source 3D computer graphics software for creating films, video games, visual effects and art. I utilize this software to sculpt, direct and juxtaposition to create a space that combines light, color and energy with form
Touchdesigner is a visual programming platform for creating real-time interactive media, art and complex multimedia applications with a node based interface. I’m researching the CPU based measurement of sound frequencies to drive visual movement and physiological expansion and release.
Audioreactivity as Expression
Given that touchdesigner is a realtime generative art creation software I’ve become interested in exploring the range of movement that originates from a signal and mirror it with that of corporeal gesture and movement. I’ve always been fascinated by the ambivalence of authoring movement with my interest more anchored in surrender of any kind of egoic connection to it. My visuals are anchored in presence and attunement vs spectacle with emphasis being on responsivity and sensitivity and non linear movement and rhythm to develop awareness of sense of expansion rather than modal elements of conformity. I seek technical clarity vs virtuosity and intentional framing and grounding vs disorientation and sensorial shattering.
Art as Reflection, Mirroring and Translation
My work focuses on art as experience and conversation not object. My work is an invitation to the slowing of time and attuning to embodied awareness, breath and stillness. It is art as a somatic experience.
Art as Community
The work is about collaboration and a bridge to all other practices that inform the development of my own expression. My practice is a lifelong journey of refining and that which is shed from my practice often provides illumination and reflection for some other facet of the collective experience. What the expression isn’t is often as integral to our creative human experience as what the work is, what it isn't points to the vast sense of expansion which facilitates growth. We are all contributing to and reshaping the collective nervous system which is the outcome of the art rather than art as artifact. The residual artifact point to some other stillness transaction which has occurred outside the frame of the art.
How the work is Experienced
The purpose of my work is to translate feeling into language. What happens to someone in the room?
Viewers may experience any of the following.
An awareness of emergence of a meditative state, slowing down of the nervous system
Physiological coherence
Emotional acceptance
Intuitive activation and remembrance
Meaning emerges through felt experience rather than explanation. Viewers are not passive observers but participants.
Offerings
I offer one on one sessions, community experiences as well as artifacts as keepsakes.
Light Garden Session thru a one-on-one conversation I get a sense of your energetic landscape which clients feel a sense of inner bloom at being recognized through the work. Throughout the course of a half hour session I record the components of a scene which illustrates an inner state for the client. Afterwards I compose a 3 dimensional landscape, a moving collage of a story arc which functions as a custom artwork piece and promotes interconnectivity and emotional expression.
Audioreactive Performance I provide an audiovisual performance though combining music and art to create an immersive and emotional cinematic viewing/listening experience. Think: the convergence between live performance and cinematic captivation and transformation.

Philosophy of Doing
The work is about art as medicine, an artist does what they do to ‘feel’ which is an act of catharsis, my work is attempting to weave the medicine of the artist with the art participant. It is about technology as an extension of nature and a tool to interact with nature vs opposing it. It’s about awakening the human body is an instrument of knowing and participation with it’s surroundings vs passive in its environment.
