STAVO CRAFT is a conceptual artist, musician, writer/illustrator who focuses on identity, time travel, culture-shifting mechanisms, and planetary phenomenon from his own homemade space 'craft' .... a spacecraft composed of innerspace more than outerspace; but still a place where alien beings nevertheless reside. Not little green men, but the aliens we, on Earth, have become to our own natural state.
Having merged so much with our technologies, and the stories we have told ourselves through history, we are now a self-creation culturally that is in part cyborg, inseparable from the tools we live through.
As a space traveling diarist, Craft mines the depths for mirrors of our true and false selves, and the ideas about ourselves we hold as both illusion and fact.
The Homemade
These projects follow the course of a homemade do-it-yourself aesthetic as an independent and solitary creation of art made directly out of the resources of everyday life. Perhaps egotistically, this means i think if you have something to say and have skill as an artist, you dont need a recording studio & financially groomed wizardry to make meaningful communication. You just need hands, heart, mind, and some glorious kind of mouth.
