NYC High Line, Austin Waterwork and more

Dear friends and colleagues,

I hope this note finds you well in these challenging times.

If you’ll be in New York City for the art fair weekend, I’d love for you to stop by and see my animation Never and Both at the Same Time, presented across six projectors inside XPosed Project Space and visible from the High Line at 19th Street. Screenings run Friday, September 5, and Saturday, September 6, from 7:30–11:00 pm.  

Residency & Press

I had the great pleasure of spending this summer as a resident artist at Black Feather Gallery in Austin, TX, where I began a new body of work. The residency culminated in a solo exhibition, which was reviewed by Elise Krentzel in SunNews Austin.

In other exciting news, my solo exhibition Un/broken at Ivester Contemporary was recently reviewed by James Scott in the Austin Chronicle.

Upcoming: Ofrenda in WaterWork

If you're in Austin this September, I’d love for you to experience WaterWork, a unique immersive art installation co-created by The Trail Conservancy and Design Austin. My animation Ofrenda, featuring original music by Joe Williams, will be projected outdoors at dusk. The immersive display will take place at dusk on Friday, September 26, and Saturday, September 27, 2025, Waterloo Greenway, Austin, TX
