A two-channel video installation weaving together archival footage of research, preparation, and installation for Making Time, revealing the often unseen processes that bring an exhibition to life. Projected on the walls of the hallway connecting the two galleries, the work foregrounds the invisible labor, collaboration, and care that unfold behind the scenes before an opening.

This ongoing project explores the pioneering video diaries of the downtown New York artist and social documentarian, situating his extensive VHS archive within the broader history of queer self-representation, performance, and media culture. My research examines how Sullivan’s intimate, handheld recordings of nightlife, art scenes, and chosen family in the 1980s anticipated today’s vlogging and social media aesthetics while revealing the emotional texture of queer community-making amid loss. By blending archival research, critical analysis, and visual documentation, the project positions Sullivan as both a witness and architect of a new form of autobiographical media.

This project transforms a personal archive of arcane and overlooked images—collected from screenshots, eBay listings, and other digital detritus—into a series of printed t-shirts. By migrating these forgotten or contextless visuals from the screen to the body, the work examines how images circulate, lose meaning, and gain new life through everyday wear.

My work witht the Greenport Camera Obscura activates and preserves one of the region’s historic optical installations, transforming it into a site for public engagement and experiential learning. By facilitating interactive viewings and programming that highlight the mechanics and history of the camera obscura, including a Parsons School of Design course, opportunities are created for visitors to explore historical technology and contemporary art practice, emphasizing both the poetic and scientific dimensions of seeing while fostering a deeper connection between the community, place, and visual experience.

1-365 is an ongoing collage-based project that overlays daily pages of The New York Times with the graphically rigorous, numbered format of Marjolein Delhaas’s Journal/Planner 1-365. Each piece pairs current headlines, images, and fragments from the newspaper with a corresponding page from the planner, weaving together reportage and structure, chance and order. By juxtaposing the immediacy of daily events with a minimalist grid framework, the work explores how we mark, record, and make sense of time—as both lived in the moment and deliberately tracked across days.
network television bumper graphic artists

2017-present
This project investigates the overlooked history of television graphic artists who designed the visual “bumpers” that framed commercial breaks for major networks such as NBC and The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. These short animations—featuring phrases like “More to Come” or “Stay Tuned”—served as transitional markers, blending art, technology, and broadcast identity in the analog era. Drawing on access to the NBCUniversal archives and interviews with Johnny Carson’s son, the research traces the creative labor behind these fleeting yet iconic visual moments, situating them within the broader histories of motion graphics, television design, and mid-century American media culture.

Textiles and Gimmick
with Jillian Hurley
Voice note of written notes sent to Jillian

Dialogue between material and text, artist and writer exploring the gimmick—its history, its dismissal, and its potential as a site of subversion. Artist Jillian Hurley uses heat-reactive and UV dyes as both material phenomena and metaphor in her work. This artist book project considers disappearance as trick, gesture, and critique and asks who decides what counts as serious or superficial.

My creative practice is rooted in a dialogue between memory, place, and the act of preservation. I am drawn to the ways in which personal and collective stories are held within landscapes, objects, and ephemeral moments through writing, research and archival work.
