ART & PERSONAL PROJECTS

Many of my personal projects explore themes of autonomy, freedom, and building community—especially in places where none initially exists. In my twenties, I lived in several creative group houses, including a punk house venue owned by a Catholic church, where I helped organize DIY music festivals and shows. Those spaces shaped how I collaborate: they taught me to be diplomatic, tidy, caring, and creatively generous. I’ve worked in a pizza shop, a bookstore, and knocked doors for Planned Parenthood. These are jobs that grounded me in real people, real stories, and the importance of connection. Whether I’m making a short film, a zine, or a community event, I’m drawn to projects that foster shared ethos, collective care, and expressive freedom.

I’m a film photographer, collage artist, fiction writer, and digital video producer for fun & professionally. ✦ See more of my work on my Substack

• Measured in Heads, hand-cut collage on plywood.

• Fig 2.4.12 (Model Does Not Reflect Actual Conditions), hand-cut collage on plywood.

• Control Track, hand-cut collage on plywood

  These three collages are a set in a series I created while living in Rome about performative aspects of our work lives, imbalances of power, and reclamation of personhood in contexts that provide perpetual feedback.
