Outpost is on view at the WORK: Detroit gallery from March 10 - 30, 2012. Opening reception will take place on March 10th from 6 - 9PM. Check it out!
Utilizing light and simple technologies, I create installations that explore perceptions of natural and spatial phenomena. The subject of these installations is generated from investigations of space and perception, and the scientific constructs of phenomenon that contribute to our understanding of space and place.
This work develops from experiences of anxiety, wonder, and real and imagined notions of vulnerability and peril. It calls attention to the relationship between humans, the environment, nature, and technology.
I am an MFA candidate in Art + Design at the University of Michigan. My research beyond the School of Art & Design is focused in Architecture and works towards understanding how humans perceive, relate to, interpret, and control the environment. -
A big thanks to Richard Retyi who came by The Parlour Room last week and then wrote a review for annarbor.com. Of course the all important snacks were featured!

Shadow Art Fair in Ypsilanti presents: Krampus Costume Ball on December 17th 2011
So having just moved to the area, I have heard lots and lots about the Ypsilanti Shadow Art Fair. A local alternative to the Ann Arbor Art Fair. The fine people that put on this much loved summer fair have also launched a winter event, called the Krampus Costume Ball. This event does not feature vendors and booths, but instead asks participants to dress up in costumes, drink and dance!
According to their facebook page invite:
“Krampus is St. Nicholas’s evil sidekick. He’s a demon that tortures bad children. In Europe, horned creatures take to the streets before Christmas, rattling chains and shrieking, reminding children that their bad behavior has consequences. Here in Ypsi, it’s not quite so evil. For the most part, we just dance and drink. There is some wandering through the streets at midnight, though, alongside the Detroit Party Marching Band.
So, make yourself a costume, come to the Corner Brewery, dance, drink beer, have fun, march through Ypsi, and end up at Woodruff’s for a drag show. And it’s all free, except for the booze. What could be more fun? “Click on the title/link at the top of the post to see pictures from last years ball. I must say I am intrigued. So if you are in the area, check out the event on December 17th and you can find me costumed and dancing!
