Statement

Resisting reductive definitions of artistic labor, the work that I do exists at the intersection of contemporary art, public policy, and grassroots organizing. I favor practices that scrutinize systems of power and am interested in creating new models for presenting artists' work. Collaboration is at the heart of what I do, whether making my own art or building a platform for others through generative exhibitions and performances. Mostly, I curate.

In 2017 I started a curatorial collective called Border Patrol with Meg Hahn and Jared Haug. Our ongoing project R.I.P. examines the politics and aesthetics of death. Currently, I am building a contemporary art space in Bakersfield, California and volunteering for Common Cause, a non partisan grassroots organization dedicated to building an ethical and open government.
