About Me
I am an artist and writer living in New York. My current work takes the form of multimedia performance, experimental language, publishing, and the creation of social spaces. I frequently write about attention and the experience of art, and my research interests include the intersection of time, feeling, capital, and crisis.
Work
My recent work also includes a meta-instructional artwork (The Library of Art), the investigation of historical practices of attention as part of the research consortium ESTAR(SER), and a series of linguistic interventions in social media, including a novel written on Twitter.
Zen
I am a senior student of Roshi Pat Enkyo O’Hara at the Village Zendo in New York, and served as Shuso in the winter of 2018-2019.
