I spent the last months of 2020 revamping my website from the ground up, including moving from Squarespace, which has become more merchant-focused, to Cargo, which is more art-based and provides more freedom in creating a unique website. 

In this new space, I aimed to move away from the traditional portfolio site to a more experiential interactive site.    

Hope you enjoy it!

After my conversation with a few artists/activists on our mutual obsession with the LA River, I decided to FINALLY begin working on the photobook version of my LA River project, In Search of Alluvium.

STAY TUNED……

You can find the recording of the aforementioned conversation HERE

Ongoing through December 3rd, Rule 42 at the Bonita Museum in San Diego is a group show where I’m exhibiting a deeply personal piece from the project Blood Works:

Gorgeously curated by Vallo Riberto, the show features “Explorations into Visual and Mathematical Poetry” and is a feast for the eyes and the mind.

I also had the pleasure of editing Cheryl Wing-Zi Wong’s video for her latest installation, MERIDIAN:

When the pandemic was well underway, and the lockdown was in full effect, I went back to shooting film and processing the rolls at home.

Wow, Bergger Pancro 400 film stock is impressively detailed. Sadly, the majority of the roll has light leaks, because… ahem… user error (i.e, super-pro photog/me didn’t properly close the back of the camera)
