The Organism Drawings were completed while on an artist in residence program in Bialystok, Poland and where shown at Gallery Arsenal in a short exhibition. The images were created over a five week period, I spent a lot of time drawing while on this residency. The images were related to some initial thoughts that I had about cities, that they were similar to living micro-organisms. In my conception, cities grew endogenously, that did not depend on the human occupants for growth and change, but the cities are organisms unto themselves–independent of human life. Inspired by images of microscopic organisms, the shapes in these drawings have no doors and replicated form.

Exponential Provincial explores the concept of housing and the idea of multiples. Each iteration of this installation is site-specific, much the same way identical housing proliferates in the landscape. Expanding and contracting, this cardboard city mimics the endless variation of the built environment. Housing developments seem to expand in identical formations, neighborhoods that span for miles around major metropolitan areas around the world. People move to these developments for a variety of reasons, in North America suburban flight has traditionally represented the middle and upper class desire for a taste of the country life and an escape from the dirty, urban environment. Exponential Provincial is coming soon, to a neighborhood near you.

For Now

Everywhere is Nowhere for Now was inspired from a conversation about a series of photographs
that tricked a person into thinking that the images were from their town in Poland. It became
a larger conversation about place, placelessness and the effects of globalization and the
spread of contemporary capitalism. The project is a slide series of digital photographs that runs
cycles for three minutes.
