geology specimen documentation.

Hello lovelies! here is a look at an aspect of my work.

I am the curator of the geology museum at the University of Dayton and a part of the work that I do is documenting the specimens that we have within the department. Here are some of my favorite pieces. I find so much beauty and inspiration in doing this work and I love sharing it with you all. Enjoy.

Barefooted Moon Walks

An exploration of planets through modern technological photographic processes.

on the artist.

Currently I have been thinking a lot about the role of the artist in the world. Specifically looking at the artists responsibilities. How are we as artists able to educate and be advocates to causes that are relevant and important. Are we as artists any more responsible for this than other people? Was our choice in career one of a well rounded person whom holds the power of communication? or am I simply over thinking the ability of the artist as communicator?

What is art but a means of encapsulating our lived experience and culture?

My personal favorite.

digital collages.

post-undergradute work.

this is a bit of my current work. keeping with my obsession of causalities and exploring the initial reaction to images i have been collecting photographs and digitally collaging. thus i only spend approximately one minute making each image. i collage extensively with physical materials and this is a digital response to the process of constructing realities, from borrowed memories.

i would love love feedback!

Show!

hello everyone, so this is what the work looks like in a show!

private memories.

here is an excerpt of the body of work i am currently developing, enjoy!

Homoerotic.

Homoeroticism and tin-type photography.

currently, i am in search of the homoerotic photograph throughout history. i am attempting to compile a visual queer history.

for centuries the LGBTQ people have lived a closeted existence covering love with shame and fabricating truths from profound lies. through these photographs i am seeking to find the existence of a queer identity throughout time.

understanding the photograph as an archive of private and public memory, i am using these images to explore into the memories of our ancestors’ relationships and emotions.
