is a synchronized multi-channel sound and video installation. The
large scale projections, spanning a total of over 350 feet, will cover

Set in the rural south, The Water and The Blood presents a kaleidoscopic view of five characters' interwoven stories.
The exhibition is free and open to the public and is presented in conjunction with

reviews:
"[The Water and the Blood] exerts the artist’s prowess at
capturing sensual imagery. His acute sense of timing and the technical
mastery of his media allow the viewer to become fully immersed in the
environment and the contingent story that the artist and viewer mutually
produce."
~ Casey Lynch, Burnaway.org

"The
story’s images and its ways of being told are so mesmerizing that they
more than hold the viewer’s interest during repeated viewings."

"The Water and the Blood
requires a commitment from the audience, but it is a fascinating
personal journey that illuminates just how subjective our perceptions
can be."
