Installation shots of a piece I made for the 2013 MAP "Art Stars" benefit at the Morgan Stanley building downtown. It was a treat working directly off the windows and being able to structure a piece in relationship to the architecture and ambient light visible outside.

Install shots for "Edge City" - Pearl Conard Gallery, OSU Mansfield, 2013.

Install shots of a piece I made recently for "The Neighbors" at the American University Art Museum's Katzen Arts Center. Such a beautiful location - I especially enjoyed the gorgeous, diffuse natural light provided by the nearby third floor skylights. Great experience!

Looking forward to staging a big, walk-through installation for this year's Sondheim Semifinalist's Exhibition!

RFP

Very excited to be getting rolling on a new project in collaboration with EMP Collective thanks to a grant from the Creative Baltimore fund! We are actively looking for community partners - if your group is interested in putting together a workshop or event in association with this, please get in touch. Look out for RFP events at Artscape and beyond.

RFP is a living artwork that asks: "What makes a strong community?" and "What should the future hold for Baltimore?"

Some of my work is featured in the show "33-35-33" that is currently on view at School 33 (through August 21) - check it out!
