Artist Statement

Geoffrey Brown is a transdisciplinary installation artist who has been known to champion nothing to counter the consumption of everything, to use interactivity and performance as tools, and who passionately cares and responds to environmental concerns using projected angst, recycled materials and the occasional test tube.
