Anthem
Anthem is a video set to a faltering marching band arrangement of “Don’t Stop Believin’ “(the 1981 rock song by the band Journey). I accompany the band on clarinet, having relearned to play my childhood instrument with this song as my goal.

Everything Must Go
a series of gouache and graphite drawings
