Meet the Artists: PATRICK

Patrick Ferreri has been exploring movement for as long as he can remember and against all logic, he keeps going. His investigations, oft excavations, have brought him into the company of too many amazing artists to list here, but since you are reading this you are probably curious so they have included David Dorfman Dance, Clare Byrne, Sara Shelton Mann, Albert Mathias and Kathleen Hermesdorf. He is currently inspired by cinematic viewings of the word, cloud patterns and plays of light in the sky, the drama we keep beneath the surface but secretly love to let "slip" out. He has spent the last two years on the west coast fostering and supporting a polyamorous love affair between adrenaline, caffeine, and glitter which has manifested in biking around San Francisco, hanging out with drag queens, eating, and thinking about audience engagement in art.
