My passion for visual language is the action which creates representation through multiple means. Not a discipline, but a dialogic practice, design speaks between the lines to connect meaning, message, and medium. I teach practice as a skill, engaging lived experience, research, and early sampling. I encourage process as a powerful and motivating factor in the development of influential concepts. Within this constellation, the principles of design, elements of art, and aspects of society coexist. At any given moment, during a conversation, interaction, critique, or rebuttal, I retrieve this ladder, connecting 2D, 3D, or 4D thinking. Although proficient in contemporary media and technology, I rely on analog processes, heritage techniques, t-square, and tracing paper. I use the language to construct, deconstruct, distribute, or link concepts, images, text, or meaning. Design by its nature is interdisciplinary. It invites a viewer, stirs the mind, forcing the conversation, and soothes my soul. My pedagogical stance is wider and deeper in breadth but maintains praxis as a central, unifying aspect.

DESIGN is a telescoping ladder that I keep in my apron.

pollinator picnic: residency

Pollinator Picnic Residency

Pollinator Picnic Residency as an interactive public process for the duration of "Interludes" Art in the Park 2019. The residency is a temporary artist in residence which creates mason bee houses

to attract pollinator populations and activated the public space to engage visitors to Elm Park and the mobile pollinator unit. Based on the islands in the Elm Mere Ponds, I will make weekly trips to the park to complete a choreographed score to navigate the

mere pond by watercraft.

During this routine, I will collect water for Transplants, gather litter to create mason bee houses, and dredge muddy areas of the pond to create sculptural mud pies.

The residency was documented on "Worcester By Bike" though a chance encounter with Worcester Telegram and Gazette writer Scott Foskett.
