This is a future performance/study focused on the short to medium-term effects of artificial or forced dependency between two people.

Following the performance/study, all of my notes and observations of the developed relationships and interactions will be exhibited.

Geologic maps exist to show the sub-surface structure of our landscapes. By reducing a geologic map of Goleta, California to pure line, shape and color I have exaggerated these visually pleasing, local forms of sub-surface geology. Using a heavily modified legend, I have depicted elements of the sub-conscious within the same forms to bring the complex structure and theories of the mind to the surface.

Gravity anomalies are the differences between the observed acceleration of Earth's gravity and the predicted value of a model.

This is my exploration of the instrumentation required to observe the delicate gravitational differences that exist across the Earth's surface. By hanging a plumb-bob off-center of markings near the ground it challenges the viewer's perception of what is natural and what is artificial. Also, it illustrates that nothing (physical or intellectual) is ever absolute or unquestionable.

Artist book

The Pine Tree was a tree that lived in my front yard during most of my youth. My friend Andrew and I saw potential in this deformed pine tree and hollowed out its interior to provide ourselves with an area for uninhibited imagination.

This book was made in Santa Barbara using Adobe Garamond Premier Pro for the text. Text paper is Mohawk Superfine Eggshell and the cover wrapper is Arches Cover. The imagery is derived from sketches by the artist and printed from photopolymer plates on a Vandercook proving press. The passages are from Gaston Bachelard's The Poetics of Space.
