Ground Floor is up at the Hyde Park Art Center

Ground Floor Installation of A Conversão de São Paulo

An exhibition titled Ground Floor features three of my pieces from  A Conversão de São Paulo. The show is up through March 22, 2015 at the Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago, IL. More info can be found here.

Ground Floor brings together work by Chicago’s most promising emerging talent, offering a single destination to discover the spectrum of artists whose work demands to be seen and supported. Ground Floor—so named because it provides a crucial platform for young artists and fills the entire lower level of the Art Center—is an ongoing biennial project.

Pics or it didn’t happen

Emily – 60 x 80″

In preparation for my extended stay as the Artist-in-Residence at the Oregon College of Art and Craft, I have begun photographing a new body of work.

Ojo de Pez

I was happy to be included in issue number 37 of the Spanish photo quarterly OjodePez, curated by Photo Editor Arianna Rinaldo. Out now.

LINE UP: Pattern Type Taxonomy

I was recently involved with the exhibition LINE UP: Pattern Type Taxonomy at Landmark Arts, the gallery of the Texas Tech School of Art. The show was focused around artists that worked in a typologic manner. The exhibit was co-curated by Peter S. Briggs and Joe Arredondo. Five pieces from Technically Intimate were included in the exhibition alongside works from Keily Anderson-Staley, Daniel Coburn, Warren Harold, Dona Schwartz, Robert Sebree, and Sarah Wilson.

A Conversão de São Paulo

The Baptist – Middle Panel (60 x 150 inches)

In late May, I was awarded the Stuart Abelson Graduate Research Fellowship for a project that I had proposed in Brazil. By early July I was on a plane, and over the following 12 days created A Conversão de São Paulo, a series that consists of 27 images arranged as triptych altarpieces. Each of the altars is based on a biblical story and features models from an Evangelic church in São Paulo.

The Kiss – Middle Panel (60 x 80 inches)

While the work explores the Evangelic community in Brazil, it also brings in various elements of contemporary Brazilian life.

Everything Has Been Done Before

Christopher Baker’s “Murmur Study”

This is a blog post I wrote for FOAM Amsterdam.

“Everything has been done before.” It is a quote, that if you are attending art school somewhere you will no doubt have heard at one time or another. I’m going to let you in on something: it’s not true.
