ABACUS 2022
The image above is of a new sculpture, ABACUS, commissioned for the group exhibition Shift at the Bristol Art Museum in Rhode Island. The show aimed to "uncover how we all create associations and arbitrary meanings to symbols, imagery, and words. We often assume that objects and images have a fixed meaning, and the artwork in this exhibit challenges this notion." –Mary Dondero, Curator

GORHAM'S WEB 2019
Gorham's Web Is a site-specific interactive installation created as a commission for the RISD Museum, in response to their concurrent exhibition of Gorham Silver, Designing Brilliance. My installation included a hand-strung sculpture made from objects I collected on walks around the former Gorham manufacturing site, and a suite of large collages. There were also three reflective mylar "ponds" on the floor to represent the ponds around the Providence factory site; the landscape of my walks.
The suite of eight collages were produced with the public's help while I was the artist in residence for October 2019 Open Studios at the RISD Museum. The collages combined printed images from RISD's Gorham silver collection, my hand-drawn maps and images of my collected found objects.

I am so proud to be included in Person of The Crowd, The Contemporary Art of Flânerie, at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia.

CALIFORNIANS COLLAGE COMMISSION 2016
Over this summer and fall of 2016 I was pleased to create five new collages for the collection of Bruce Menin, to be installed in his new building at 10,000 Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles.

My subjects were Isamu Noguchi, Julia Child, John Steinbeck, Isadora Duncan and Robert Frost.

SMACK MELLON SUMMER SHOW 2015
I am so pleased that my work Cypher (Sunset Park) is included in the summer exhibition Story of a Story, at Smack Mellon, curated by Shlomit Dror. The exhibition runs June 13 - July 26, 2015.
From the Press Release:
"In the exhibition Story of a Story, the artists are chroniclers who examine the relationship between language and narrative, truth and fiction, and between narrators and readers/listeners. The works in the show also pay close attention to the interpretive process that in turn offers an extension to the narrative and the work. Story of a Story’s thirteen artists present a range of narratives that are told through painting, sculpture, photography and video."
ARTSLANT PARIS RESIDENCY 2015
In January and February, 2015, I was the ArtSlant/Georgia Fee resident in Paris. On daily walks through all 20 arrondissements, I collected objects for a new installation piece, Tapestry.

SELECT RESIDENCY BLOG/WRAP UP 2014
As inaugural artist-in-residence for the Select Fair at Industry City from April through May, 2014, I explored the notion that the things we can afford to leave behind, to abandon, tell a story about a community. Throughout my time there I created a site-specific installation comprised of found objects collected on daily walks through the changing neighborhoods around Sunset Park and recently scrutinized Industry City. I invited friends and colleagues to walk and explore with me, and wrote about our adventures on the blog listed here: Project Blog

highlights the social nature of the art world. It is the hope
of the curators that the response will be vast and that the
