Fossils From the Future

  • "Fossils from the Future" is a multimedia exploration of the human experience. From hieroglyphic collage tablets to micro-chipped skulls, this sci-fi exploration stands at the crossroads between familiar imagery and distant realities.

  • At The Look Listen, this was a duo show with Matt Autieri

Legacy

  • This series explores the cycle of life and the traces that we leave behind as human beings. The body of work is about the remnants of our existence— the discarded materials that often outlast us, and how they were born from and return to the natural world.

  • The Look Listen

Collage featuring a vintage man carrying a panel, a person riding a horse, cut-out text and images including a woman dining, an eye, a stack of pancakes, and a glass of wine against a background of a large, circular, ornate building ceiling with purple accents.

100 Squares

  • A series of perfectly-squared,
    analog collages.

Experiments

Kensington Beach

Kensington Beach explores addiction in America. We tend to gloss over addiction as a society, especially in our own backyard.
