ESN has created projects and performances in the USA, Europe, and Asia. His work is often multi-layered and involves exploring Eastern and Western philosophy and the relationship of place, people, action, and language. The foundation of many of his projects and performances comes from a 'word map'. These maps are created by writing a word, usually a verb, by walking through the streets in different cities. It is within these maps that thoughts are formed, images and sounds are gathered, and actions are explored. The projects are then further expanded upon by making additional performances and other work connected to the original word and place. ESN's formal art education was at Arizona State University, where he focused on video, sound art, and performance. He is currently living in Seoul, S. Korea.
