WRITING

"What is the necessity of the avant-garde?" Conversation with Kohei Ando Screen Slate (2026)
"In the United States, this would have been around the same time as Videofreex, who John Baldessari famously compared to “Jesus freaks” because of their allegiance to video. I wonder if there was a similar energy with collectives convening around early video culture in those days that reflected what was going on elsewhere in popular culture."
Wrong Number: Films by Frank Heath Screen Slate (2026)
"It is within this matrix of outsourced labor—and amid the historical shift from physical computing, paper filing systems, and clunky machinery to black-box software, data centers, and cloud computing—that the artist and filmmaker Frank Heath emerges. He is an investigator into, historian of, and prankster intervening on governmental and technological bureaucracy."
Strange Biology Wendy's Subway (2025)
"That loner anesthesiologist in the corner thinks you placid. You’re laying on your left side. You open up your mouth very, very wide and let out a large gust of air in the form of a bubble. The bubble seamlessly envelops you and everyone else in the room. Then you fall asleep. While you’re totally passed out, she’s asking her colleagues, Do you think they’re dreaming of the great green lake?"

Blue Lifeworld Are.na Annual, vol. 7 (2025)
"At the time of writing, the most popular color of scrubs in the U.S. is “Ceil Blue,” a flimsy cipher for the French word ciel, meaning “sky.” Scrubs did not become aqueous ultramarine, maritime navy, or terrestrial mint, nor the mythologized bleu de travail, but rather a glimmer of what’s promised to some of us when we die."

Mycotechnology: The Work of Wires in the Age of Secondary Decomposition by LoVid at Various/Artists Screen Slate (2025)
"The oft-misunderstood materiality of born-digital artworks, contingent upon the computers, memory chips, and coding languages which sustain them, poses unique challenges and opportunities for these pieces’ stewards. It is precisely this entangled, embedded materiality that calls us to think of preservation as more than the physical maintenance of artworks, encompassing their distribution, thoughtful presentation, and ongoing contextualization within shifting cultural consciousness."

Two-way by Carolyn Lazard at Artist's Space Screen Slate (2025)
"Rejecting the notion of the perfect copy—from parent to child or simulation to real-life—Lazard scrutinizes the centrality of aesthetics within the state’s regulation of outcomes related to the American health project. They suggest there is always something being “played out.”"

LYDIA EATS ALL Miniskirt (2024)
"I’m in my mind’s eye tying her loose parts them into the shape of a puppy. Lydia lets liquid pool in the divots above her cheeks. My puppy barks at koi in her pools. These animals smell like the heat. A plastic bag drifts between our legs."

I Could Smile for a While by Niptong Random Man Editions (2024)
"Sure, they’re girls, but more specifically, they’re GLAMOROUS, they’re CAREFREE or PLAGUED, and they’re HORNY. Girls who make contact…with you, or the quivering terrain of love. Maybe the sky will crack open under the influence of this combination, or you’ll find yourself suddenly and sublimely happy.

D is for DIALOGUEDIALOGUE, DUPLIKATE BOND (2024)
"1: You go to buy a car its as if it were made just for you 2: R ASS 1: your ASS glued to the 2: ASS 1: tight 2: ASS 1: leather seat on the passenger 2: ass hole"

LUCKY STAR LOVE THEORY No Bounds Radio (2024)

"I used to ride my bike to the water. I’d say “I’m going to the water, I’m going to walk in the lake today.” And a gust of wind would say, “Did I tell you you could want something?” Disobedience makes my brain bleed."

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY Parent Company Gallery: Speedo International Unlimited (2023)
"We are always either pre- or post- colonoscopy. When you see a hunk on the street with her lower belly hanging slightly over the waistband of her skirt, heels sticking out the back of her Nikes, sexy hair in a bun and she’s gnawing on the straw of her Slurpee instead of sipping it, you can know that she’s one or the other. And that she’s maybe on her way somewhere. It’s as simple as knowing that she is or is not dead, that there is or is not Slurpee left."

WHISPERING AS WISHFUL THINKING Public Parking (2023)
"Both transness and illness are subject to the surveillance of interpersonal interest; this is because transness (under the pseudonym of “clinical gender dysphoria”) is a pathology vis-a-vis the Western medical canon. Healing as a predetermined narrative subscribes to the genre of extractive biography by presupposing an end: HEAL or DIE (or GET LOST). In terms of genre, formal strategy, or ontological status, what happens to those of us who fail to do either?”
RELEASE OLD ENERGY SO THAT BLESSINGS CAN ARRIVE screen_ (2023)
"WISH UPON A ☆. THERE IS A CLEAR SPRING BUBBLING THRU MY HEART. WHY IS A RAVEN LIKE A BUBBLING CREEK? ARE WE GOING TO GET TO TALK ABOUT BOYFRIENDS IN THE INTERVIEW?*"
WHAT LABOR CAN BE PLEASURE? are.na annual (2022)
"*Birds chirp*: ohhhh deep love ohhhhh walking down the wet street oh exactitude ohh interspersed gratification oh oh silly pebble blade ohhhhhhhh"
