hi!

I’m Max! I’m a multimedia artist and musician originally from Portland, Oregon. I just graduated from RISD’s Film BFA program, and now I’m living in Philadelphia.

I make work about taking a close look at the networks, cycles, and rhythms of the natural world and finding out how we exist within them.

This website has most of my work from the last few years on it, and I’m always working on something, so come back soon and you’ll see some new stuff!

If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me an email, or message me on Instagram (both at the bottom).
