Mantidae has been working from his home base in the wilds of Boise Idaho for the past few years striving to grow and assemble sound and video collage works that capture listener-viewers in intricate weavings of reflected, mutilated, sometimes tortured noises and lights.
Mantidae has migrated to the fertile fields of Multnomah Co, Oregon, where there are many many prey. Mantidae spends time in Boise where it maintains a feeding ground in summer.
