ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Ariel. I am interested in lots of different things. I like being with people the most. I enjoy cooking big family style meals, going for long, long walks especially at night, writing, drawing and making audio tapes. I am interested in travel, especially in the idea of constant-movement. I like taking trips that involve all-movement, like recently I went for a vacation with a friend that was almost entirely Amtrak-train time. Sometimes I make large-scale performance-interactions. You can see some on my site. Now I am working on project called FUN ///projects. I believe that FUN is likely the most important thing, because when your body feels good, in the right place, at the right time, with the right people, that is the most holy thing.

PHILOSOPHY

Being and Becoming. Taking time to think, feel, and express. We create our world together, and as we evolve through reflection on our action, we create more and more complex things, with a higher potential for inclusion of all people and more beauty. We should spend more time playing games together!
