Deep Forest
Multi-media installation
“‘Deep Forest’ is an installation I was invited to make at Healer, an alternative art and music venue in Indianapolis, IN. ‘Deep Forest’ is a dreamy escape into an alternate dimension. It is a fully immersive visual experience. The band Bizarre Noir also filmed part of a music video in this space.”
