Pittsburgh Is A Living And I Think I Am Too

A cataloguing of the textural idiosyncrasies found on building facades in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as they are manipulated by light and the slow aging of the city. The visual narrative is as inconstant as the surfaces represented, highlighting persistence, decay and the thoughtful structural interventions that often braid together these forces. This collection is an expression of reverence to the ephemeral material bodies that contribute to the composition of the city — the places that frame and shelter our procession of living.

Wet Theyes (In Memoriam)

Touchscreens use electrical fields to detect skin’s natural conductivity — water can interfere with this connection. Despite the heavy saturation of water on my skin and swim trunks as I hiked uphill from the edge of the Pacific Ocean, my movement overrode the screen’s natural aversion. This series of 42 photographs is a representation of interplay between body, screen and water in a short interval between 2:44—2:47 p.m. on December 15, 2022, an unrepeatable cybernetic happening, allowing access to a liminality existing only in the experience that these forces created. The set is a reflection on our perception of the art object, questioning the role of agency, intention and the living self as scaffolding to the creative process.
