People of the Telluride House

I am an artist working across performance-architecture, correspondence, and media. My work refuses models of authorship and spectatorship organized around the discrete individual, instead proposing forms of practice where meaning is determined from the plural rather than a single subject position. Friendship is a method through which this refusal is enacted: a structural condition of making in which what gets produced is shaped by the relations through which it is made.

I enjoy writing, birding, karaoke-ing, cooking and gardening.
