“The Voice” is a performance piece I’ve just started trying out. I wanted to combine my poetry with soundscape, props and video to create a performance that isn’t like any other performance I’ve ever done. The video collage in the background was comprised of clips from my own films, Green Day music videos, 80s pop videos, and my motifs from my “This is My Voice” series. I use video collages as a sketchbook to express what my work is about and what my motifs are inspired by – usually 80s/90s pop culture and East Bay Punk aesthetics.
