Moiré and Moiré Accessories
This edition of five books acted as a way to explore projectors in book form. Each came with an envelope containing five hand-made slides, which when projected at the same time created moiré interference. Encouraging the viewer to explore the effect with different combinations, as well as encouraging literally exploring the device itself. It rewards the viewer physically opening the box with hidden prints on the interior of the casing. December 2022.
Pathology Report
Based on the pathology report I received based on a surgery I underwent Fall of 2022. Seeks to reckon with the ways surgery defiles, heals, and indexes the body. It consists of three sheets, one with green brayered ink and the word "glistening" stenciled in darker green (glistening being a keyword in the report). The other two consist of a custom-made rounded veroni pattern, brayered with multiple shades of pink and interlaced with the green page. The book is housed in an intricate white box with white medical mesh and messy green lettering that reads "PATHOLOGY REPORT REGARDING REMEDIATE AFFIRMING OPERATION ON TRANSEXUAL" The spring-like structure of the book makes it burst out of its housing and handing it feels like pulling apart flesh and peering inside. Not editioned, but two alternative versions. November 2022.
If I Cut You Up (will you fall apart?)
This edition of five books consists of two panes of plexiglass with Leporello-style rice paper pages. When the book is closed, the shapes on the individual pages overlap to create a figure (based on dancer Annabelle Stern) and the words "if I cut you up." When open, the figures dissipate into their individual shapes and the words "will you fall apart" appear on separate pages. It is readable from all sides. November 2021

It Will All Be Over Soon
An edition of 20 unique pieces, this project consists of lino cut prints based on photos of ephemeral moments in my life with the words "IT WILL ALL BE OVER SOON." Printed on twenty pieces of found clothing, including jeans, dresses, and shirts. Meant to be a collection that disintegrated as fast as possible, pieces were given freely to those at the exhibition and afterward were left in a Reed College common space (called the "free bench") to be taken by anyone who desired it. December 2021.
