I am a Northern California artist working with moving images and sound. Through live performance, studio-based projects, workshops and residencies, I am focused on work that encourages sensory response through unexpected uses of traditional media.

My performance work gives priority to collaboration and chance, and often situates me as both musician and filmmaker. Recent collaborators have included Lawrence Jordan, Craig Baldwin, Paul Clipson, Kerry Laitala, Mary Helena Clark, Joshua Churchill, Suki O'kane, Maxwell August Croy, Chris Duncan, Tooth (arc) and Keith Evans among others.

Incorporating archival, found and original footage, my single-channel films celebrate the interplay of personal, nostalgic, cultural and ecstatic themes. My films have exhibited at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The San Francisco Cinematheque, The Pacific Film Archive, The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, South By Southwest, The Mono No Aware Festival, The Antimatter Media Art Festival, Festival Images Contre Nature, The Optica Festival, Instants Vidéo Numériques et Poétiques in Marseilles, The Milan Film Festival, The Swedenborg Film Festival, The Alchemy Film And Moving Image Festival, Transmediale, The Impakt Festival and Videoex in Zurich.

As a musician, I work with stringed, percussion, and electronic instruments, and my music has been released on the Root Strata, Digitalis, Students of Decay, Bimodal Press and Peasant Magik labels in the US, and the obs label, Rostov On Don, Russia.

As far afield as Davis may go in his works, the listener never feels completely removed from some hint of melodic structure. Often it’s vague, more a memory than something tangible, but it still exists. This lets the work stand up to close examination, and it consistently reveals itself to be deeply intricate while pushing at its own borders. - Hypnagogue.net

I also run Bimodal Press, a tiny publication outlet that emphasizes San Francisco Bay Area experimental music, film and related ephemera. Highlighting a small selection of artists, the label also serves as a home to both the Gravity Spells I and Gravity Spells II projects, and is committed to ongoing collaborations with Bay Area media artists, musicians and writers.
