Little Bets
February 21, 2023

Exposure
December 22, 2022
One of the things I tried in 2022 was to start an art project about the Ocean. The Ocean is a really fascinating thing. In a lot of ways, water defines Earth...

Can rejection be fun?
November 2, 2022
Hello all, I am in the middle of nowhere this week, documenting wildlife surveys in a big property. It is (I hope) fun and important work. It is (I hope)...
Anti-elite art vernacular (or, the most specific topic I've ever written 1000 words on)
