Disavowal, 2008

Inspired by the life and legend of radical abolitionist and (in)famous "race traitor" John Brown, Disavowal is a flight of movement imagination on the stakes of racial identity, commitment, and the possibility of freedom and choice under conditions of white supremacy.

underground, 2006

Using the 1960s as a starting point, underground explores the principles of political activism, in particular the activities of the Weather Underground and asks the questions: when can activism become terrorism, or vice versa, and is condoned or endorsed killing/destruction ever justified?

Impending Joy, 2004

Impending Joy initially was a reaction to the softer feel of Lightbulb Theory. It was purposely meant to have harder lines and a more harsh, direct feel - almost warrior-like. It seems to take place on a mythical but non-existent battlefield.
