My creative practices have involved words, sounds, and sometimes images. I'm interested in questions around land and stewardship, colonialism, history, science and society, vision and touch, and the organic/technological divide.

Charcoal, inkjet, ochre, and saltpeter on office paper (36" by 48" and 24" by 36")
These are parcel (cadastral) maps of rangelands in Marin, printed on large sheets of office paper and then drawn over in charcoal with images of the landscapes. Saltpeter and ochre were added to some of the drawings as well. The rangelands depicted were part of compost experiments in the Marin Carbon Project. I used that data during my PhD work on soil carbon measurement. In these works I wanted to explore different kinds of abstraction; especially how they affect our perceptions (and the reality) of the lands they represent.
Music
I like to DJ and produce. Here are some samplings :)
Poetry
I write and occasionally read poetry. I published a chapbook called Millenarianism in 2023 and took the graduate poetry workshop at UC Berkeley in 2024. I like to write about people and places, and the feel of history, memory, void, and longing.
