Lives and works in Philadelphia, PA, USA

Artist statement

I make photographs, prints, write stories, publish books and support other artists in their work. We live in a time of intense social, environmental and spiritual change. I find alignment with the meanings behind these transformations by making art that explores the behavior of ordinary people who find themselves in extraordinary circumstances. The Anthropocene Blood Book, 2024, (view my work) is a commentary of the un/reality of the Anthropocene, a proposed time of steep decline in the planet initiated with the first atomic tests; therefore, centered around the two main themes foregrounded throughout my lifetime- the degradation of the planet, and the proliferation of nuclear weapons and waste.
