About
I experiment with various combinations of movement,
language, and design. My work has taken the shape of live
performance, writing, photo, video, and radio broadcast.
I aim to blur the line between artistic and spiritual practices
in an evolving exploration of devotion, resiliency, and awe.
Originally trained as a clown, my work and life is an ongoing
attempt to locate the funny in the tragic and the tragic in the
funny.
Other long-standing interests include deep winter, waterbased
ritual, and dark skies--- all of which Arteles offers in
abundance!

The process went like this, though not in a straight line:
Notice, name, notice, refresh. On walks, while dancing,
clicking the pen, lying in bed. Hang out with the books but
don’t read the books. Consider beauty, live the sublime.
Watch K eat eggs. Devotion not passion. One word then
another. A poem, a bird. Give everything up if the moon
is out. Give everything over if the lights come to dance.
Sometimes you’ll understand and then you’ll forget. You have
a responsibility to wonder.
