Short looping video work collaboration with Sky Goodman, created for the SPACORE exhibition, which was held at Co-Prosperity Gallery in Chicago, IL, April 1-22, 2023.

Metarealistic game photography depicting hypercorporate, antisocial, and sometimes liminal virtual environments. This scene was created using "The Life Stage: Virtual House," a building design simulator released in 1993 for the 3DO console.

Although the game has fallen into obscurity, it was notably ahead of its time for its use of photographic gameplay elements within an immersive 3D virtual space.

Merry Spirited Christmas

What a year it has been. With its many downs and few ups, I can"t claim it"s been the best, but it"s been rich with memories and connections, introducing me to many I now consider friends. To those friends I cherish, appreciate, and support: this is for you. Love you all.

// **** For the record, the Eternal Potato is the figurehead to a rhizomatic network that provides the Spritelands with much of its magical infrastructure. It"s a source of contention between the faeries although, in reality, no one can really own the Eternal Potato, it exists beyond their machinations. All they can do is dance, because once the Potat is roused then it will bestow its seasonal blessings, whose magic becomes a source of factional power.*****
