About
I work as a curator and artist on topics of technology, radical
politics, humor, and the environment. These explorations
arrive to the viewer through thematic exhibitions at
Unrequited Leisure, experimental web platforms, books,
installations, performances, and videos.

Among several personally restorative and creative projects
I worked on while at Arteles, these simple sketches remain
the most compelling. Beginning with a number of collected
twigs, digital photographs are further manipulated by a bit
of javascript, which arranges and rearranges the images
endlessly toward some 2D construction that repeatedly fails
to emulate the natural order. Finally, the code generates
PDF’s by the hundreds toward a collection of printed works
for exhibition. (The title of the work is a quiet homage to the
brilliant Stephen Merritt side project, ‘The 6ths.’)
