Statement of Work

•

As a professional musician and filmmaker, sound is the most evocative sense I experience in the creative process. After touring with a band for several years, I began focusing on merging my love for film and animation with collaborative music video projects for local and regional performing artists. I believe filmmaking, though often directed by a single creative vision, is inherently collaborative and should value both the perspective of everyone involved and the dialogues a film creates.

Hope-Lian Vinson

Hope-Lian Vinson is a Kansas City-based visual artist whose works recast elements of the built environment to explore internal narratives of history and identity. With a B.F.A in Painting, Art History, and a Social Practice Certificate from the Kansas City Art Institute, Hope-Lian works at the intersections of art and ecology by using locally-sourced clay and natural materials to reference place and geological processes. They have showcased works in MdW Atlas, SITE ONE, Sapien Gallery, and have recently returned from the Chop Wood Carry Water arts residency in the Driftless region of NW Illinois. They currently serve as the Marketing + Communications Manager at Charlotte Street, where they use their artistic background in community-organizing to provide critical support for Charlotte Street programs and initiatives.
