Art Cart - This photo and text essay explores contrasting views of the Food and Drug Administration in the United States and Scientific reports on the use of bleach in products used on and in the body. The cart is movable so individuals not prone to the art gallery would also have a chance to see it.
Complacent Proximity - This installation includes aerial shots I photographed of the 11 maximum security prisons in New Jersey, some nearby homes, a stadium and under the glass, a copy of Shirley Jackson's essay " The Lottery " questioning how unexamined traditions and rituals can be shocking when viewed from an outside perspective.

BURN short film - I produced this short film directed by Reynold Reynolds and Patrick Jolley. This poetic film explores the decline of domesticity as the inhabitants light their home and themselves on fire. Funded by a Guggenheim grant and a Creative Capital Grant, and was purchased for the collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Spacialization - This work explores how one feels when experiencing an environment from their past. I'm particularly interested in how a space can impart an essence that is specific to itself and how that essence can never be repeated in an alternate local.
