May Drone Report
My experience working on the grant project has been productive but stressful—though not necessarily because of the project itself.

Living as Animals in the Digital Age
Throughout the summer, I am creating a body of artwork that explores human dissociation from the natural world and how we use technology to reinforce our separation. My painted sculptures are informed by video game environments which function as hybrid spaces, at once human, wild, and machine. I have spent this Spring semester curating aContinue reading “Living as Animals in the Digital Age”
