The Great Quentini
Performance Artist and More...

I am a performance artist and a sculptor. I make costumes and musical sculptures out of found materiels. I have shows in which I wear costumes, play these musical sculptures, and tell humorous stories; acting out the parts that defy words. These stories are often from my life experience.

The Great Quentini is now featured in several You Tube clips, including one by Marc Brodzik, another by some Drexel students and a " great quentini performance fragment. "

Go behold The Great Quentini and his many works in the Gallery. I am adored or at least appreciated by some folks. Check out this glowing review at reality sandwich, who called my work an "intricate and fast-paced barrage of wonderfulness." Uh, thanks.

What's New?
My art for Spring PDF 2008 is called "Totem". It is based upon totem poles from the native tribes of the Northwest United States and Canada. These poles were artistic ways to tell stories, commemorate events, and express other cultural information. My images are drawn from a combination of elements that I find important and from elements that I find fun and beautiful. On the night of Sunday May 25, I burnt the sculpture. Check the Gallery for more photos. Below is the top of the totem pole, both as a sketch and the finished piece.

My art is about instinct.

Whatever disciplinary boundaries I cross are irrelevant to me.

I know what I like and I go there trusting that what fascinates me is, in fact, fascinating.
