Nomad Art

Jared Tailfeathers

Artist Statement I am a multi-discipline, multi-media performance/interactive Installation based Blackfoot artist. My focus as an artist is to bridge the gap between arts and culture, making work that is designed for large conceptual and multi-media communication and collaboration, including; Music, visual arts, comics and graphic novels, interactive lighting, performance, luthiery, architecture, structure framing, 2D/3D, metal smithing, narrative, etc. I am most well known for making one of a kind musical instruments, musical installations and narrative based conceptual projects. As well as my strictly fine art work, I am a multi-instrumentalist with over 15 years of experience as a musician. I build one of a kind musical instruments, and use them in interactive projects, but I also build and design working instruments for private collectors, patrons and musicians. As an artist it is important for me to build work that encourages interaction and collaboration between artists and the general public, providing tools and media for people who may not have opportunities to express themselves creatively, and making a public setting for creative output.
