My portfolio image gallery, both of larger projects and of individual works. This might feature some redundancy; I have images of everything in here, but it’s useful if you’re looking for a broader scope of my work, or looking for something older.

A public art experiment of sorts to help me discover my new home. I distribute various ephemeral artworks while exploring the city of Chicago through public transportation. I map where I’ve been/where I’m going, and made a zine about what I’ve found out about the idea of home through this.

a project focusing on using art in creating relationships through gifting. I spent time and collaborated with classmates and teachers, documented these interactions, and then gave each participant with an artwork created specifically for them in honor of their time given to me. We then had a ceremony/party to bring everyone together and pass along these gifts.

These are a lot of photographs I've taken just for myself at various times; a lot of them are older and not very high in quality. Still, I enjoy them a lot, so I thought I'd post them here.
