the last supper (2025)
the last supper considers what unfolds after a monumental or mundane moment of choice - a metaphor for the impact a single person can have on history, and the power we each hold to enact change, sustain complicity, or preserve continuity. Arts on Site (November 2025) Photo by Erica McLean |

fifty degrees (2024)
fifty degrees flirts with the genetic estimate that everyone on earth is, at most, a fiftieth cousin to everyone else. What does family look like; what does it feel like; and what is our job as a member of one (or many)? Arts on Site (November 2024) Photo by Erica McLean |
