We are not unique—neither as a species among species, nor as individuals among individuals. We all sleep—isn’t it peculiar? All animal life, to not just survive but thrive, requires essential, routine periods of unconsciousness.”

Thingification grapples with the boundaries of both. Between the fraying thread of the canvas and spun wire, humanity’s entanglements far and wide are the foreground of this collection.”

(Content Strategy | Creative Direction | Project Management | Asset/Brand Design) Complete brand messaging, strategy and website re-development for the non-profit of an award-winning author required an  in-depth knowledge of their thought and audience. From brief to launch, this vision required a combination of research, consultation, creative strategy and brand development to chart a middle way between diverse, global audiences and user backgrounds.

(Art Direction | Curation | Live Programming | Asset Design) “Like maps of our lonely planet, all flat projections betray life’s dimensional complexity. During this decade of deep-fakes and media skepticism, seeing is not believing. Instead, for today’s cynics and what-aboutists, it’s typically the opposite: representation alone inspires doubt about whatever’s represented.”

Throughout the collection, texts and images are exposed to various deconstructions revealing their essential instabilities.”

(Art Direction | Project Management | Resource Solutions | Preservation) “In a secret garden nestled in the Douglass Homes of Fell’s Point, Baltimore the rubble-scape draws inspiration from the elusive and transient nature of street art. What can human culture learn from the resilience of material products?”

“Like Home Movies, ‘history’ itself is increasingly improvised by its actors, spilling forward entropically. It is written for us by retro-script, and adjudicated by embattled media networks whose narratives are validated by the accumulation of audiences.”

(Art Direction | Project Management | Resource Solutions | Preservation) “An aesthetic exercise in space, this room is a live-in piece which evokes the soft memories of delicate fabrics and caretakers. A collage of generational and cultural materials, the space delicately suspends assorted ideas—complimentary and juxtaposed—in tension for the occupants.”

●

(Editorial Direction | Publication Management | Creative Writing | Digital/UI Design) The Terminal Post is a digital zine about the internet, it’s culture and our experience of it. Cold aesthetics with a twist of surrealism, it makes deeper sense of how the internet has affected our lives, society and consciousness. It’s 100% commodity free, influence free, social media free.
