My art practice explores our relationship to time and seeks to expand our capacity for connection to self, land, and the collective consciousness. Here you’ll find a collection of experiments and experiences that explore impermanence and regenerative systems.
Artist in Residency - Boisbuchet
During a 2023 artist residency at Domaine de Boisbuchet, France, I explored the cyclical and regenerative nature of time by working with ecological and recycled materials and fermentation practices. This work asked: what does it mean to sit in cosmic time? Through these experiments and a series of meditations, I reflected on how cultures, ideas, and energies are continually preserved and remade, culminating in a meditation on impermanence and regeneration.
Scholar in Residence - Esalen Institute
As a Scholar-in-Residence at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, I deepened my exploration of connection through meditation, gardening, and helping teach the science of emotions and social connection. Living within the Esalen community, I witnessed how presence, shared ritual, and embodied therapeutic practices can foster both individual and collective resilience.
This experience continues to shape my inquiry into how regenerative systems might deepen connection without exploitation, systems that honor land, community knowledge, and the natural rhythms of change. I am currently researching and writing a collection of essays that explore these themes through lived experience, systems thinking, and storytelling.
Living Room Productions
Living Room Productions emerged through hosting immersive dinner parties. These strange themed dinner parties tell the story of my random assortment of interests: tomatoes, Surrealism, Islamic gardens, the show “What We Do in the Shadows.” In telling these stories, I cook and curate menus, design tablescapes and write plays that I make my friends begrudgingly act in. Living Room Productions was soon founded and we have hosted immersive dinner parties in the Bay Area in California, Cambridge, MA, New York City, and London.
