Leaving behind the rural beauty of Ithaca, New York to live in the ultra-urban environment of Market Street, the busiest area in San Francisco, has led to analytical artistic responses where creative intervention in the cityscape is a primary concern. The constant inundation of imagery, the influx of information, and the decrease of human contact both in the physical and virtual world have acted as a catalyst that drives the artist to divert the bombardment, and solidify the role that an activist / artist plays in society.
Continuing to pursue issues of mediation, sexuality, technology, and computer / human interaction while furthering explorations in culture jamming and documentation of everyday life, are my principal objectives. Coursework for next semester includes an interdisciplinary seminar on the role of play in art, as well as many tutorials with respected professionals in the art field. Coupled with the renowned faculty of San Francisco Art Institute, these myriad experiences will combine in facilitating my continued artistic maturing, culminating in a career as a professional artist.
