SILENCE (2020)
We starve, look at one another short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes
- Claude, HAIR, The American Tribal Rock Love Musical

DUELER EYE CHART (2015)
Who lives
Who dies
Who tells your story?
Dueler Eye Chart is a card inspired by the Broadway musical Hamilton. The piece was created as a gift to friends, family, and the cast and crew of the show.
The layout was influenced by the traditional Snelen eye chart. With this piece I wanted to draw upon the theme of keeping focus as you strive for the things you want in life, just as Alexander Hamilton did to achieve all of his goals and make his mark in history. As you go further down (further down) into that timeline the stakes rise and you must keep that focus sharp or you may suffer a similar fate to Alexander's.
There are ten levels to the chart (a nod to one of the songs in the show, "The Ten Duel Commandments") with the tenth having a nasty drop of blood.
The 4"x8" card was created in InDesign, and the blood stain in Photoshop.
