Strange Time showcases novel timekeeping devices alongside poetic representations and commentaries on time. We invite viewers to imagine a weirder physics of time, and thereby conceive of new ways of being, free of the rigid structure imposed by the ticking clock.

The New River

Journal of Electronic Literature and Digital Art | Spring 2025

"The photographs in Slumber offer evidence of bodies in repose and unrest cocooned in their private environments. Made overnight the images are the result of long exposures that blur the details of the inhabitants in each frame, recording snatches of movement and the scumbled forms of bodies over time."

Re-Connections: In Kinship With Nature

at The United Nations | Nov 2023

In this work the concept of exposure to nature is visualized quite literally, also that of immersion. Traveling to the 4 cardinal points of the contiguous United States, these images were formed by casting hand-coated Sumi ink cliché verre “negatives” into bodies of water, their natural forces becoming the guiding hand and their own formal language. Traveling with these materials in a van, markings on coated mylar rendered each unique image as a product of the elements; water, earth, wind and sunlight. Truly a collaboration with nature, these images record connection; place and time, chance and pattern.
