Public Displays of Affection, 2024
Artist
Unable to go out and take photos as I normally would, I started collecting old 35mm film slides from secondhand stores. Since physical contact was a prominent topic of conversation during that time, I became interested in exploring how people expressed touch in the past, particularly outside the privacy of their own homes. From nearly 1,000 slides, I distilled a select few for the photo book titled “Public Displays of Affection.” Through this project, I aim to present a visual narrative that encourages viewers to explore the power of physical touch in their own relationships with friends, family, and lovers.

Currents, 2020 (postponed)
Curator
Scheduled to open at ReCreative Denver in 2020, Currents is a solo exhibition I curated of work by Justin Ankenbauer. It explores how the layers and interactions of shapes present in his work are similar to those that exist in currents. Viewers are encouraged to explore Ankenbauer’s process across traditional media, experience how those processes have been applied to new media, and create their own forms and relationships through play in his interactive multimedia installations.
Noticer, ongoing
Artist & Publisher
Infrequently collected in zine format, Noticer is my ongoing documentation of everyday life. It is driven by my curiosity and desire to record the stories that exist in scenes of emptiness and moments of isolation.

Guile, 2013

Designed and published in 2013 under my label, Terra Nova Games, Guile is a medieval memory card game of deception and intrigue for two players. Players are either the noble King Arthur or the nefarious Sir Mordred, and the Knights of the Round Table are the instruments of your influence in Camelot. Your chosen knights will advance your schemes as you trace the web of subterfuge and manipulate it to your own ends. The victor will wield the most influence when each Knight's loyalties are revealed.
