If you’ve been eyeballing a print from me, now is a great time! Clearing inventory and also (guilt trip) raising funds for veterinary bills. All prints are archival matte hot press paper. Hand for scale, Venmo or PayPal, can ship for $5 on unframed and happy to quote on framed. Message me to claim!

my new project is called Palette Obscura, and basically going to be where I fart around analyzing the color in horror and cult cinema then make stuff about it. I don't need to run multiple accounts here, so I'll be posting about it here, as myself, as well xx

“Silent Equinox” is on display at UMass until December 3. While I still foresee audio being a big part of my video work, it was special to see this project living amongst the night sounds on campus: crickets, chattering students, and distant evidence of weekend shenanigans. #videoart #umassamherst

If you open an empty fortune cookie but a few days earlier an old man gave you a Werthers for letting him go first in the coffee line does that karmically even out, asking for a friend

"Approach No 9.2" will close out this series. While I can always return to this process as a quiet meditation, it has served its purpose in this chapter of my life and I'm ready to move on to other projects. I'm thrilled to have several solo exhibitions scheduled to get eyeballs on this series!

A “like” on social media can’t compare to a person exit your immersive audio-visual installation and say “that made me cry in a way I can’t even explain.” My engagement online sucks as I refuse to make “content” but I have 5 exhibits in the next year, and that seems to be a better fit for me!

WE WANT TO FIND THIS MAN! Not George Burns, but the other guy, who is also with a wax figure of George Burns in a photo held by the real George Burns. Who put this picture in his glove compartment then sold his car in Montreal in the early 2010s. He deserves to get this outstanding photo back! Help!

Women are already becoming more beautifully empowered and discerning, but it’s truly a new era for accountability of toxic men when text exchanges can be run through ai to analyze for emotional manipulation and abuse and spit out a detailed report. Saw a friend do it and I am shooketh

Some detail of this stunning work. It was a complicated install but well worth it! Also, after spending so much time in the gallery and meeting the curator, it seems I now have my own solo show booked there for 2027 👀
