Abstract
My work investigates memories and experiences of masculinity, myths that aided in the construction of masculinity, and the roles that those forged notions of masculinity have played in altering my concept of male identity and the self. I use time based media and performance to address these concerns and to express my understanding (or lack thereof) of my memories. I attempt to translate my searching into a spectacle through which my audience might experience my anxiety in relating to these issues. My work is also therapy, acting as a mentor and visual guide in the quest for a better understanding or a more acute awareness of the self. My work offers viewers a window, or reflecting pool, through which fragments of my memories, questions, and meditations may be experienced.
