progress in the studio
Self-directed research and learning is not always as fruitful as I anticipate. So far with this project things are far exceeding my expectations. With the amount of information, examples and tutorials online, I am happily finding the answers I need to feel like I can experiment freely. I still do not know exactly where this work will lead, but the possibilities become more clear each day. I hope to include sound and movement in this work as well. I believe that will allow me to create the kind of immersive experiences I am hoping to create. As this work in the studio progresses, the stories from these places also become more clear to me. I am looking forward to using these tools to share some of the moments I’ve imagined and to answer some basic questions. What has happened in these places since our time? How could surveillance, ai and autonomous drones reshape the landscapes of the future? What can be learned from the romanticisation of these ideas?
before the endless ocean
How hot would it need to be to melt all of the ice? How long would it take for the ocean to cover everything?

Halftone: an exhibition of prints by MECA&D alumni
August 4-September 9, 2023
49 Oak St, Portland, ME 04101
Maine College of Art & Design recognizes that printmaking is a vehicle for vernacular culture, social dissent, and cultural identity. In an age of instant reproduction and shifting definitions of authenticity, the act of printmaking remains a true format for elastic experimentation. The artists included in this exhibition, through an open call, collectively inhabit this commitment to exploration and the work is a reflection of the various formats for which printmaking can translate ideas. Halftone will be open from July 28th- September 9, 2023, with an opening reception on August 4 from 5-8pm.
global deterrence system

An omnipresent deterrence system stretches beyond the horizon. What was once sold on utopian ideals of perfect peace and safety has evolved into a system of total surveillance and total control. The presence of continuous observation forced whoever was left deep into hiding sometime long ago.
