Rising to cross the sky, native son Jonathan Ray aka JON RA applies sound knowledge with resolute vision. Growing from the same desert root as his brother 13pieces aka artist Justin Ray, they represent crates of creativity and floods of knowledge from Laguna Pueblo.
With cinemagraphic DJ skills JON RA throws down rotations.
Mixing light, air and clay into slabs of movement.
Arcs across the sky, crossing continents with thought.
