Getting ahead jump start on my 2026 solo exhibition, "Infinite Panopticon." Finished the first case of frames today.

This will be one the most multi-faceted and rigorous exhibitions I've done to date

My newest altered book photograph, "The Consumption of Mary Ash." A faux-document of a true story of a 13-year old girl who died of Tuberculosis Eastern State Penitentiary. She had been incarcerated for arson.

This is my artists book "Infinite Palimpsest." It will accompany my series of photo collages, "Infinite Panopticon." These pages provide clues to the themes and influences behind the project. The end goal is to have this exist as a 1 of 1 accordian book gallery visitors could walk around and view.

I just learned that Robert Troxell, a printmaker and ceramicist who also headed the art department at HACC in the late 90s and early 00s, passed away. This post isn’t about condolences; it’s about recognizing how someone’s teaching can have lasting impact...
